Earlier in 2020, we found out that the newest addition to Devolver Digital’s Shadow runner series is in the making.

Here’s everything we know about Shadow Warrior 3:

Release Date

We know that Shadow Warriors 3 is to be released on PC at some point in 2021, but we do not have an exact release date or any information regarding what other consoles the game will be available on.

Trailer

Most of what we know about the game comes from the teaser trailer. The teaser focuses on the low-brow humor and extreme violence that has defined the Shadow Warrior franchise since it debuted in the ’90s. This preview goes one step further in that respect by even referring to the teaser trailer as a teaser trailer within the teaser trailer. It’s the kind of Inception level meta humor we’ve come to expect from the unique minds of Devolver Digital and their partners.

Plot

The teaser trailer confirms that Shadow Warrior 3 will follow Lo Wang’s pursuit of an ancient dragon that he accidentally freed during his previous adventures. As always, demonic forces and various other enemies stand in his way.

Gameplay

The trailer doesn’t reveal any of the in-game gameplay footage, however, it’s safe to say that Shadow Warriors 3 will follow the same style of gameplay we’ve seen in its predecessors with over-the-top gunplay and melee action.\

2013’s Shadow Warrior successfully rebooted the original by holding on to its controversial style and pure action gameplay while incorporating some modern gameplay advancements and graphic improvements. 2016’s Shadow Warrior 2 wasn’t quite as impactful or surprising as its predecessor, but it was the better game in many respects. Its four-player co-op campaign mode was an enormous success.

We hope that Shadow Warrior 3 will introduce a few more new ideas to its gameplay, however, even just more of the same may be enough in this instance.

Stay tuned as Shadow Warriors 3 releases in 2021!
