Shadow Warrior is coming back again and we've got the first details here.
There's some screenshots and a teaser trailer so watch the whole video to see some new gameplay.
Shadow Warrior 1 was released in 2013 which was a successful reboot of the original game
from the 90s.
It kept the old school FPS action, but it modernized with new graphics and gameplay
Shadow Warrior 2 is the sequel and it's trickled it's way in to the media recently.
There were some rumblings on twitter from the official Shadow Warriow and Devolver Digital
accounts when fans tweeted asking if the sequel was on the way.
Who wants some more wang?
The official site was updated with a logo of Shadow Warrior 2 and a nice background
video.
And now we have this awesome teaser video which is very similar to the prologue of Shadow
Warrior 1.
Lo Wang driving in, sword sharpened and coming out of the sheath ready for action.
Still in the Japanese setting.
It's official that Shadow Warrior 2 will have four player online co-op, a procedurally generated
mode, and a revamped leveling and gear customization system.
This is all good news as it will still maintain the classic shooting and slashing gameplay
with more of what the fans want.
And co-op is really huge.
The last game had zero multiplayer features and this is the type of game you would want
to play with friends.
The screenshots really look glorious and this game is built for the PC from the ground up
so it's unlikely that they would downgrade the graphics.
Now, we see Lo Wang and a buddy fighting against a huge monster.
And if you notice the second guy is dual wielding swords which is potentially another new feature.
Shadow Warrior 1 only had dual wielding for guns, not for swords.
And these huge bosses is what Shadow Warrior and old school games are known for.
We also see a new bladed weapon that looks freaking crazy.
It's like a sword with an extra short blade on the hilt for even more maneuvers.
And it looks like this weapon is also being dual wielded.
It's probably a shorter sword like a machete or katana sized weapon.
I've never even seen anything like it, and trust me I'm a guy who knows a lot about swords.
And look at the detail on the sword model, they really aren't holding back for this new
game.
In the third screenshot we see some gunplay.
Shadow Warrior is one of the few games that excels with both first person melee combat
and accurate shooting.
We've got a shotgun literally putting a whole in this demon right in front of Lo Wang.
And if you haven't noticed, this game is really gorey but it's all part of the action.
Between the Japanese setting and the amount of blood, it always reminds me of the Kill
Bill movies.
And lastly we have dual wielding sub machine guns on another huge boss.
It's pretty crazy that this huge guy is in this closed environment.
There might be multiple fights with huge guys like this.
And this looks like more footage of what co-op gameplay will be like cause we see other warriors
on screen.
What do you think will be in the co-op of Shadow Warrior?
It could be a horde mode or maybe a modification of the single player levels?
They did say it would be procedurally generated for replayability so that leads us to believe
that it's not the same as the single player experience.
Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Shadow Warrior is primarily a PC game but we should see a port to the Xbox One and PS4,
maybe they will even release it at the same time.
We also probably won't see this game until 2016.
I'll let you watch the full teaser up next.
