The katanas are sharpened and the dragon hunt is about to start! I’m Bartek, the lead producer on Shadow Warrior 3, and our group right here at Flying Wild Hog are excited to provide you all a contemporary take a look at our sport earlier than it launches on March 1. Keep tuned although as a result of this submit is getting a number of updates all through the day, with extra movies to dive a bit deeper into the sport. Oh, and yet another factor – Shadow Warrior 3 will probably be a PlayStation Now title at launch.
The very first thing we wish to share is an prolonged take a look at a brand new mission from Shadow Warrior 3 – the Dragon’s Nest! Our hero and his chatty companion are on the hunt for the dragon that was by chance let into our dimension on the finish of the final sport and, extra particularly, one in all its eggs that may be weaponized to defeat it. The Dragon’s Nest is a stupendous, brilliant panorama that has seen higher days because the dragon made its residence there and wrecked the few bridges, buildings, and temples that stay. It’s a very good mission to showcase the creativity in fight and motion alongside the brand new Gore Weapons gamers achieve from activating finishers that we predict make Shadow Warrior 3 a thrill.
Gunplay vs. Swordplay
The Shadow Warrior collection has at all times leaned into the idea {that a} melee weapon like our katana shouldn’t be regarded as a final resort while you run out of ammo however moderately a deadly possibility within the arsenal that makes gamers danger getting nearer to be able to land devastating blows on demons. The brand new sport expands on that mechanic in a number of methods together with the flexibility to degree up your katana to carry out new assaults and making a relationship between the way you kill an enemy and the assets gained from every conquered monster. Placing down a demon with the katana will now yield ammo in your ranged weapons, whereas blasting them to bloody items drops well being to patch your self up and go in for extra close-up fight. It’s a viciously enjoyable cycle and we predict it can preserve gamers dancing between blades and bullets with every encounter.
Executions & Gore Weapons
The fashionable shooter scene has ramped up the motion with the addition of executions, or ‘finishers’ on the finish of onerous fought battles. Shadow Warrior 3 takes that to a different degree by rewarding gamers with Gore Weapons, a function the place you actually separate enemies from their implanted instruments of destruction and switch them in opposition to the horde for a restricted time. Practically each enemy within the sport might be dispatched with a finisher to take a Gore Weapon or perk that gamers will study to execute on the excellent second for every scenario.
Necessary Grappling Hook
So we all know that each house marine and demon slayer has a grappling hook today and that we’re not precisely breaking floor right here. Nonetheless, in Shadow Warrior 3 we predict it provides a brand new dimension of freedom to fight and traversal by permitting gamers to tug out a number of methods to interrupt freed from a sticky scenario or clear some room in a battle area. The grapple hook will will let you dart and swing round arenas, shut the hole between your self and a demonic goal for a chest-caving kick, and cling questionably positioned exploding barrels in simply the suitable spot for an explosive consequence. Paired with a bit fluid wall operating and fight sliding, gamers will turn out to be masters of dancing round an area in a inventive show of power.
The Flying Wild Hog group has crafted Shadow Warrior 3 as the subsequent evolution in our collection to provide extra freedom to gamers in midst of absolutely the chaos they create in fight. The dance between wielding the katana and letting unfastened with a shuriken launcher or railgun earlier than executing an enemy to complete the combat with fireworks cannon is an absolute blast. Wall operating, swinging over chasms, and bringing down a 2,000-year previous bell tower on unsuspecting demons will preserve the motion up much more than ever earlier than.
