'Shadow Warrior 2' Release Date, News & Updates: PC Launch Announced; Watch The New (Gory) Trailer Here

"Shadow Warrior 2" was recently announced to launch on PC. The upcoming slasher-cross-shooter title also featured a gory new trailer. Game publisher Devolver Digital and game developer Flying Wild Hog confirmed that the PC version of the Doom-like title, "Shadow Warrior 2,"is set to arrive in mid-October 2016.

The game will reportedly be available on Steam, Humble and GOG. Pre-ordering will be available, which will provide 10 percent off from the original retail price. Those who pre-order "Shadow Warrior 2" will also receive the exclusive Razorback chainsaw katana. GameSpot revealed that players who already own the original "Shadow Warrior" and "Hard Reset Redux" by Flying Wild Hog will get another 10 percent off the pre-order price. The game developer thanked fans of the original game "for being a ninja" from the very beginning, giving them the chance to purchase the sequel, "Shadow Warrior 2," at 20 percent off.

PCGamer wrote that "Shadow Warrior 2" is unique from other modern FPS titles because of its full disregard for taste and logic. Players get to shoot and slash enemies that come in nonstop waves, although the action features a lot of style and progression. There are so many weapons and items to work with in "Shadow Warrior 2," such as a chainsaw katana and icy pistols. "Shadow Warrior 2" gamers will notice how the excessive gore actually appears comical. Cuts will originate at the point where enemies are slashed, instead of a predetermined joint location.

"Shadow Warrior 2" features randomized environments, made from handcrafted modules that will give a fresh feeling every time. There are also jokes, lots of loot, randomly generated levels and various play styles that make the game quite engaging. "Shadow Warrior 2" was initially announced in 2015. It is a direct follow-up to the 2013 game, "Shadow Warrior," which was a re-imagination of the 1999 game of the same title. The upcoming game will still feature main protagonist Lo Wang, and the story will pick up the events of the previous title.

"Shadow Warrior 2" will launch on Oct. 13, 2016. More updates and details are expected soon.
