Devolver Digital announced this morning that the chaotic and ace-looking Shadow Warrior 3 has been pushed further back, and will not meet its 2021 release date ā€” the explosive shooter sequel will launch on PC and consoles in early 2022.

ā€œShadow Warrior 3 needs a bit more time to sharpen its blades so developer Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital are sliding it into early next year!ā€ said Devolver in a short message on Twitter. ā€œPlease enjoy the Official 2022 Delay Announcement Trailer ā€“ more release date news soonā€¦ā€

The trailer sees our monster-mashing maniac Lo Wang taking it to Shadow Warriorā€˜s roguesā€™ gallery, who find themselves ā€” like the rest of us ā€” waiting for the violence to begin. At least I get to catch a very brief glimpse of mā€™lady Motoko in action. Thereā€™s no denying that Shadow Warrior 3 looks like itā€™s going to be a bombastic and extremely cathartic experience. Iā€™m definitely looking forward to its eventual arrival.

Shadow Warrior 3 now joins a painfully stacked release season that also includes Guerrilla Gamesā€™ Horizon Forbidden West, SNKā€™s King of Fighters XV, Sloclapā€™s Sifu, FromSoftwareā€™s Elden Ring, Volitionā€™s Saints Row, Ubisoftā€™s Rainbow Six Extraction, Techlandā€™s Dying Light 2, Sonyā€™s Gran Turismo 7ā€¦ Wellā€¦you get the picture.

Shadow Warrior 3 launches in early 2022 on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
