Shadow Warrior 3 Release Date: March 1, 2022
Shadow Warrior 3 will be coming out on March 1, 2022. It will simultaneously launch on PC (via Steam), PlayStation4, and Xbox One.
As for the storyline, fans of the series will look forward to assuming the role of shogun Lo Wang alongside sidekick Orochi Zilla in Neo-Feudal Japan. This time, embark on a mission to recapture an ancient dragon that the pair had accidentally released from its eternal prison. Combining katana blades and bullets, players will traverse across mythic Asian land to track down the creature and deter an apocalypse from coming to fruition. Prevent the looming cataclysm by finding a mask of a dead god and a dragon’s egg as you weave through hordes of vokai with magic, firepower, and strategic prowess.
Shadow Warrior 3 gameplay, combat system
As an FPS, Shadow Warrior 3 seamlessly blends fast-paced gameplay with razor-sharp melee combat mechanics amid a dynamic combat environment. It features hazardous structures and devices that can be activated, making each battle more unique and strategic, mixing magic and technology of the ancient samurai. Players gradually unlock a huge arsenal of weaponry that they can master, while Lo Wang can still wield his trusty katana for close combat. Compared with its predecessor Shadow Warrior 2, the new game has a more linear progression system, but adds a touch of dynamism with the movement mechanics that players can take advantage of.
You will get to enjoy a free-running, highly nimble movement system as they mix thrilling gunfights and precise katana strikes to take down the demonic vokai—inspired by Japanese folklore. Players will get to unleash fancy footwork with air dashes, double jumps, running up walls, and even a new grappling hook mechanic so you can scale up vertical surfaces and platforms. By executing finishing moves at close-range, you can claim a piece of the enemy and use those new powers to annihilate the rest of the horde with unstoppable magic.
Despite the more streamlined leveling system, Shadow Warrior 3 will provide more backstory for Lo Wang and the Japanese and Chinese cultures that the game derived its setting and plot from, as well as ensure that players can focus on enjoying relentless action-packed combat throughout.
