The Shadow Warrior series has flown under the radar for some time now, but the upcoming instalment looks like the most frantic, action-packed entry yet - oh, and it's now definitely confirmed to be coming to Xbox One.
IGN had exclusive dibs on some new, juicy footage, and it seems that Bethesda's take on the DOOM series in recent years has had some influence. Shadow Warrior has always been known for its fast-paced gunplay, but that dial looks as though its been cranked up to 11. The new gameplay in particular highlights some brutal melee finishers, which sees the player ripping out the enemy's eye and using it as a frisbee for some elemental damage.
"Get a new look at gory first-person shooter Shadow Warrior 3 and see the first reveal of the Doomsday Device level, the Gassy Obaryion enemy, and most fun of all, the "Double Trouble" gore weapon highlight. As a bonus, you'll see some Arena Kills, i.e. how you can use the environment against your enemies. Shadow Warrior 3 will be released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One later in 2021."
Up until this point, Shadow Warrior 3 was only confirmed for PC. It's great to know a console version is also on the way (as we had expected), as the past two entries have been nothing short of fun. We're looking forward to seeing the gameplay evolution since the last entry, which as it stands, is looking mighty impressive.

can't wait! loved the last two games and this one looks very cool
For Xbox One but not Series X? Flying Wild Hog should patch the first two games (very low res, geometry and detail) and then port this to current gen consoles.
I tried Shadow Warrior 2 because I believe it was on GamePass. Controls were a bit too complicated for my taste. Maybe I should try it again with more calm.
Haven't played the console iterations. But I remember, fondly, the shadow warrior(1997) on pc. Good times.
Wouldn’t have tried shadow warrior series had the 2nd game not been a Reward challenge one week but really loved the game and sense of humour it has.
Any game that opens with ‘you’ve got the touch’ from the Transformers movie blaring at full blast gets my attention. Looking forward to 3. 😀
I never played the first game but played SW2 as it’s on GamePass...and I loved it. Now I can’t wait for SW3.
Seriously enjoyed the first 2 so will gladly pick this up on release...
Highly enjoyed the first one until I got to a point in it where I got stuck and couldn't figure out how to get through it. Maybe this will be the excuse I need to go back to it again, and then finally play the second one.
