Shadow Warrior Announced

Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital today announced their collaboration on Shadow Warrior, a complete reimagining of the 1997 3D Realms cult classic.

Shadow Warrior tells the offbeat tale of Zilla Enterprise’s corporate shogun, Lo Wang, who is ordered by his employer to track down and acquire a legendary blade known as the Nobitsura Kage. Forced into a timeless battle, Lo Wang learns of the blade’s connection to ancient gods from another realm, pushing our world to the brink of destruction. Aided by Hoji, a banished spirit from this mysterious world, Lo Wang must use a masterful combination of gun, blade, magic and wit to discover the truth behind the demonic invasion and banish the encroaching forces back into the darkness.

Shadow Warrior is set to launch on PC via Steam and other digital distributors this fall with a next-gen console release in 2014.
