As players approach the March 1 release of Shadow Warrior 3, developer Flying Wild Hog revealed a final trailer highlighting the game's gory and intense gameplay as well as the protagonist's campy mid-battle punch lines. After much wait and previously released trailers, this trailer only adds to the anticipation of the game coming next week.This trailer comes with seamless gunplay, considering the game's delayed release. Shadow Warrior 3 was originally delayed by devs to polish up graphics, and this delay was teased by the game's protagonist in the January premiere trailer.Compared to the previous Shadow Warrior trailer released in January, this one gets straight to the point as it focuses on the intense first-person battle scenes with protagonist Lo Wang and demons. The gameplay trailer shows Wang exclaiming witty remarks as he prepares to slice and dice a massive dragon. He whips out a katana and goes in for the kill in the fast-paced cinematic clip. The next scene gives players an idea of what gunplay the game will provide, highlighting different weapons, releasing explosive clips, or duel-wielding fires in between razor-sharp melee finishes.
Although fans on Twitter are happy with the improved weapons features, some have commented negatively on the change in Wang's original voice actor. It was revealed that the new voice actor for Shadow Warrior 3 is Mike Moh and that this would be his debut in his voice acting career. He is also accompanied by two other new voice actors to the series, SungWon Cho and Andromeda Drunker, giving a trio cast of new voices for fans to experience. Fans also commented on the game's comical approach, with some feeling that this version might be a little too cheesy.
The trailer goes hard and gives an exciting look at what to expect from Shadow Warrior 3. Not only that, it was recently announced by Sony that the title would also make its home on the Playstation Now subscription service the same day it releases to consoles. This is very important news as this could positively shake up things for Shadow Warrior 3 and provide a fantastic future for Sony moving forward as it promotes day-one launches.
Only a week away, and with some hesitancy with the voice acting, players can look forward to the official Shadow Warrior 3 release and what it will bring to the table for fans of the series.
Shadow Warrior 3 releases on March 1, 2022, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
