Get ready to slice and dice, because it seems very much like Shadow Warrior 3 is arriving in March. This hasn’t been officially announced by publisher Devolver Digital yet, but both the Xbox and PlayStation Stores have updated their listing with a March 1 release date, so it seems like this is the real deal. The listings also reveal a price ($50) and the following pre-order bonuses…
- Shadow Warrior [Full Game]
- Shadow Warrior 2 [Full Game]
- Limited Edition Katana Skin [DLC] for Shadow Warrior 3
Not a bad bunch of extra goodies! For those that haven’t been keeping up, Shadow Warrior 3 is the work of Polish series creators Flying Wild Hog, and looks to be the most over-the-top entry in the series yet. Here’s a quick rundown of the game’s features:
Shadow Warrior 3 launches on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Xbox Series X/S and PS5 via backward compatibility on March 1 (pending official announcement).
- Conduct a symphony of death with each encounter by mixing overwhelming firepower with devastatingly precise katana strikes as you dash in and around the demonic hordes.
- Flow between nimble movement techniques including air dashes, wall running, double jumps, and the fancy new grappling hook busts your combat and movement options wide open in every battle.
- Execute spectacular finishing moves to claim a piece of your conquered foe and unleash its powers back on the horde in a burst of unstoppable fury and powerful magic.
- Each environment is lined with hazardous structures and devices that can be activated to add another layer of creative choice to the offensive strategy.
- Trek across a mythic Asian land infused with the magic and technology of ancient samurai, now overrun by the demonic yokai from Japanese folklore.
- Brace for expertly delivered one-liners from Lo Wang, pointed banter with Zilla, and an intense thrill-ride of absurd predicaments on the way to turning doomsday into a new day.
