Devolver Digital has announced one of their upcoming games early, teasing more to come during their Devolver Direct event, which is scheduled to take place on July 11th. The reveal was for a new Shadow Warrior game, a series originally created in 1997 and then rebooted in 2013. Revealed as Shadow Warrior 3, it's a first-person action game, where you use guns and swords to take down your foes, with a focus on free-movement involving wall-running, air dashing, and grappling hooks. Flying Wild Hog will be developing, who previously worked on the other two preceding Shadow Warrior titles, The third entry in the series is planned for release sometime next year on Steam, with gameplay to be shown off at Devolver Direct

Shadow Warrior 3 launches the offbeat first-person shooter series to the next level with a seamless blend of fast-paced gunplay, razor-sharp melee combat, and a spectacular free-running movement system. Fallen corporate shogun Lo Wang and his former employer turned nemesis turned sidekick Orochi Zilla embark on an improbable mission to recapture an ancient dragon they unwillingly unleashed from its eternal prison. Armed with a punishing mix of blades and bullets, Lo Wang must traverse uncharted parts of the world to track down the dark beast and push the apocolypse back yet again. All it will take is the mask of a dead god, a dragon's egg, a touch of magic, and enough firepower to tear down the encroaching Shadowlands.

Nice! I thought 2 was pretty good. If they improved the gameplay for 3, It'll be a great game. From the description here it sounds fun.

Please let it be better than 2. I enjoyed the first, but 2 followed a trend of needless bullet sponging and stale fights to fill time. It's not fun.

I played the orginal version in 90's and the remake was very good.
This look fun.

I heard 2 was pretty mediocre compared to 1, but we'll just have to see how they go with this one for now

2's only major con is it's procedurally generated levels and loot system. the rest of it's factors are great.
As long as they get rid of these two things, i bet it's gonna be great.

Loved the first two, though the original is definitely a notch above the sequel. Looking forward to this.
