Shadow Warrior 3 was showcased at length today as publisher Devolver Digital released 17 'glorious' minutes of gameplay playthrough. Sadly, it wasn't captured at 4K resolution, but it looks great all the same.
The new game by Flying Wild Hog is due next year on PC (Steam) and from what we've gathered, Shadow Warrior 3 will be more focused than the previous installment, which featured procedurally generated side content.
Fallen corporate shogun Lo Wang and his former employer turned nemesis turned sidekick Orochi Zilla embark 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 hold off the impending cataclysm.
