About Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition

Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition poster

Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition serves up an ultraviolent blend of fast-paced gunplay, razor-sharp melee combat and spectacular free-running movement through a mythical Japanese realm. Fallen corporate shogun Lo Wang and his former nemesis Orochi Zilla return in the latest entry in the gore-soaked, wisecracking FPS series, embarking on an improbable mission to recapture an ancient dragon that Lo Wang unwittingly unleashed from its eternal prison.

Tearing through a fractured land infested with demons, you wield a dynamic arsenal of blades and bullets, conducting a symphony of death in each encounter by mixing overwhelming firepower with devastatingly precise katana strikes as you dash in and around the demonic hordes. Movement is just as central, flowing between air dashes, wall running and double jumps to stay one step ahead of the chaos.

This Definitive Edition packs in new features to test your skills, including New Game Plus with additional challenges, weapon skins and rewards, a Survival Mode against waves of incoming enemies, a Hero Mode modifier for an even greater challenge, Chapter Select for rapid replayability and a punishing Hardcore Difficulty. As an action-adventure FPS on PC, Shadow Warrior 3 makes bringing a katana to a gunfight its signature thrill.
