The
talented group of nerds at Flying Wild Hog along with the less talented suits at
publisher Devolver Digital have announced Shadow Warrior 3, a stunning new entry
in the global best-selling franchise. Shadow Warrior 3 marks the triumphant
return of fallen corporate shogun Lo Wang and launches the offbeat first-person
shooter series to the next level.
Shadow Warrior 3 finds Lo Wang and his former employer turned nemesis turned
sidekick Orochi Zilla embarking on an improbable mission to recapture an ancient
dragon they unwillingly unleashed from its eternal prison. Armed with a
punishing mix of blades and bullets, Lo Wang must traverse uncharted parts of
the world to track down the dark beast and push the apocalypse back yet again.
All it will take is the mask of a dead god, a dragon's egg, a touch of magic,
and enough firepower to tear down the encroaching Shadowlands.
"We are beyond excited to bring Shadow Warrior fans a completely fresh
experience, and we can’t wait to show off the new features we have in store for
them. We want to make sure that our fast-paced gunplay sequences, razor-sharp
melee combat, and spectacular free-running movement, will get their adrenaline
pumping and senses thumping,” remarked Game Director Kuba Opoń.
“But we never forget Flying Wild Hog’s roots and we hope that Shadow Warrior 3
will feel like a homecoming for those fans that have been with us since the
beginning. And we can’t wait to introduce new players to Lo Wang, our
quick-witted hero with a tongue as sharp as his katana. Shadow Warrior 3 will
see him face a threat so huge it may be too big even for him to
handle.”
