Shadow Warrior 3 is still on track for a 2021 release for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 -- and with two sneak peak videos released today we get a good look at its insane over-the-top arena combat. With a vibrant art style, fast-paced arena combat, inventive weapons (the aforementioned Gore Weapon is ripped directly from a large beast) and enemy design this is shaping up to be a very different adventure for series protagonist Lo Wang.
Which, for some reason, we don't hear in these gameplay highlights. Check 'em out.
'That Damn Dam' Mission Sneak Peek
This video features a frenetic journey to the top of the titular dam where Lo Wang does battle with the Seeking Shokera, a flying enemy from which the Seeking Eye, a new Gore Weapon, can be torn and turned against multiple enemies! Finally, The Damn Dam features further environmental carnage with The Wrecking Ball - a skyscraper sized tower with which Lo Wang can wipe out scores of enemies using expert timing and a giant spiked ball-and-chain.
'Doomsday Device' Mission Sneak Peek
The video features a look at the new mountainside level, the Gassy Obariyon enemy, and the new Gore Weapon you can rip from the Obariyon and use for a limited time - the Double Trouble minigun. The video also highlights a key feature of Shadow Warrior 3 - the use of environmental traps that can be activated with precise timing to obliterate groups of enemies in their path.
It's looking great, and has a very Doom Eternal-style vibe going on with the focus on using the environment, movement, and different weapons. Shadow Warrior 3 is the third title in the series from developer Flying Wild Hog and publisher Devolver Digital -- and is shaping up to be the biggest to date.
