News: Some new content is headed your way in Shadow Warrior 3 that will put your skills to the test.

Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital have announced that Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition will be unleashed on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 16. Featuring pulse-pounding new features and performance enhancements, existing Shadow Warrior 3 owners will receive a free update to the Definitive Edition.

Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition is a reinvigorated, ultraviolent blend of fast-paced gunplay, razor-sharp melee combat, and spectacular free-running movement through a mythical Japanese realm. Test your skills against the all new Survival Mode, New Game Plus, and Hardcore Mode.

Available after finishing the main story, Survival Mode is a completely new game mode consisting of three new battle arenas providing hours of new gameplay. Three new weapon skins will be up for grabs for those who can complete the challenge.

The Chapter Select menu lets you go back and collect missing upgrades and relive some of Lo Wang’s most magical moments.

New Game Plus delivers a new way to experience the ultraviolet action of Shadow Warrior 3’s story mode. Enjoy additional challenges, rewards, and skins to give Lo-Wang that much-needed confidence boost.

The new Hardcore Difficulty offers up the most intensely punishing version of Shadow Warrior 3 yet. Not for the faint-hearted.

Live life on the edge in Hero Mode, a challenging modifier that shortens Lo Wang’s life to a limited number of respawns. Earn more of them by performing spectacular Finishers, but run out, and your progress is lost forever.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S owners will be treated to tailored enhancements including PS5 Haptics & controller speaker support and re-tuned performance modes. You will be able to choose between a buttery smooth 60fps for fast-paced violence or boosted 4K visuals at 30fps for a truly cinematic experience.
