Shadow Warrior 2

Shadow Warrior 2 was only announced a few weeks ago, and already developer Flying Wild Hog has released a gory gameplay video into the world. The fifteen minute gameplay demo contains just as much demonic combat as fans of the series would expect, but also offers a first look at the open world levels and stealth-based combat new to the Shadow Warrior games.

Sorry, this video is not available

The video above follows the main character from the first Shadow Warrior, Lo Wang, as he chops and slices his way through a demon infested town.  As you’ll see almost immediately in the demo, the linear level design from the first game is long gone. Instead, Wang is able to explore a wide and open level by running, sneaking, and climbing just about anywhere he wants.

The new mechanics look great and everything, but Wang’s one-liners steal the show.  The game even managed to snag a spot on our list of the best indies from E3 2015. Look for Shadow Warrior 2 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2016.
