We’ve known Shadow Warrior 3 was about to break into the press, as the studio recently hinted at an upcoming trailer that betrayed the inevitable arrival of the next step in the smart-mouthed protagonist Lo Wang, as he gibs and shreds various demons to bits in a series that somehow deftly straddles the line between mocking other titles while offering crisp gameplay itself. Mainly because the one-liners make sense, but we’re not here to insult the pugnacious gecko.

The duo will need to work as a team to find a handful of extremely odd items in an attempt to hold back the apocalypse that they unwittingly unleashed upon the world - that comes in the form of an ancient dragon.If you’ve ever wanted a more cynical and sarcastic take on the standard hack & slash genre, then you’re likely familiar with the gots and gore that the Shadow Warrior series offers, with intense battles, copious upgrades, and witty one-liners that would put Gex out of business. Shadow Warrior 3 sees the series protagonist Lo Wang return - accompanied by his former employer turned nemesis, Orochi Zilla - in another over-the-top first-person shooting adventure. If you've been holding off for an opportune moment to experience the series, this might just be it.
