Lo Wang lives amongst the wildlands out of range from his enemies as he works as a hired sword for the Yakuza clans in the surrounding areas, although when a mission goes terribly wrong Lo Wang has to recommence his battle against evil. The story picks up five years after the end of the prequel in which Lo Wang’s best intentions resulted in producing an outlandish world in which humans and demonic monsters co-exist within habitats. Can Shadow Warrior 2 retain the quality set by Flying Wild Hog’s high benchmark from its precursor and Hard Reset Redux? Shadow Warrior 2 is developed by Flying Wild Hog who is building an excellent reputation of crafting fun, old-school first-person shooters having also created the Shadow Warrior re-make and Hard Reset Redux.
Shadow Warrior 2 is a sequel to the re-make of a game that was originally released on May 13th 1997 and developed by the legendary 3D Realms which was clearly inspired in its direction by their previous smash hit Duke Nukem 3D having released on January 29th 1996. There’s even some footage of the game’s grappling hook, which Flying Wild Hog admit isn’t the most original mechanic but adds another layer of movement options and capabilities to a formula that already looks fun as hell.Shadow Warrior 2 is a first-person shooter available as a limited edition retail release from Special Reserve Games including a numbered Shadow Warrior 1 and 2 disc, bonus Steam keys for both games on PC and numbered Kanji of Empowerment hand-painted artwork, although it is limited to a pressing of only 2,500, while a larger scale premium retail release was issued in Flying Wild Hog’s home country of Poland and it is also available for download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4. It also delves into the game’s Gore Weapons mechanic, which incentivises the player to use finishers on enemies in order to turn their fleshy instruments of death on everyone else for a limited time. The blog post goes into more detail about the gameplay, showcasing a never-before-seen level in the form of The Dragon’s Nest. This is still a huge get for PlayStation Now subscribers, as Shadow Warrior 3 is shaping up to be a mighty fine FPS indeed. You’d think an announcement like that would get a little bit more fanfare within the blog post, but that’s another story. The news comes from a PlayStation Blog post from Flying Wild Hog themselves, with lead producer Bartek Sawicki confirming it as a throwaway line in the first paragraph. Fans looking forward to continuing Lo Wang’s adventures in slaying demons will be excited to learn that the upcoming release of Shadow Warrior 3 will be launching on PlayStation Now as a day one title on March 1st, alongside its launch on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
