Fans of Shadow Warrior will have to wait till 2022 to get their hands on Shadow Warrior 3 and sample the Wang. The third instalment of the Shadow Warrior series will now be launched next year, rather than this year, according to developer Flying Wild Hog. Generally, when a game is delayed, creators usually announce it with an apologetic tweet and a solemn pledge to the game's quality and audience happiness. Developer Flying Wild Hog chose to communicate the bad news through the Shadow Warrior 3 Official 2022 Delay Trailer in the case of Shadow Warrior 3.

The demon-busting combat in this latest trailer, which has assassin Lo Wang at its core, is temporarily interrupted in a humorous pause. While the katanas from Shadow Warrior 3 don't show, viewers do get a look at a new hammer-type weapon.

The tale of Shadow Warrior 3 follows capitalist shogun Lo Wang and his henchman Orochi Zilla as they attempt to reclaim an ancient dragon that they unwittingly released. Lo Wang must journey across undiscovered corners of the planet, armed to the teeth with a mix of swords and guns, in order to track down the beast and prevent a demon apocalypse.

The developers also stated that further footage of the game, as well as an official release date, would be disclosed in the near future after announcing the delay. Knowing Devolver Digital, the new release date for Shadow Warrior 3 might appear at any time in the next weeks. Shadow Warriors 3 "needs a bit more time to polish its blades," according to developer Flying Wild Hog and publisher Devolver Digital.

Several game developers and publishers have recently announced game delays, claiming the need for more development time and safety concerns. Many people have expressed their dissatisfaction with the ongoing pandemic. It's also possible that the developers wish to avoid the infamous Cyberpunk 2077, which was published with a slew of flaws implying that the game hadn't been cooked long enough.
