Shadow Warrior takes a swipe at PS4, Xbox One on October 21
Following a short delay, publisher Devolver Digital has revealed that the gory ninja combat of Shadow Warrior will reach the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 21.
For those unaware, Shadow Warrior was originally created as an offshoot of the crass humor of the Duke Nukem franchise. The original game, released in 1997, was essentially Duke Nukem 3D in a world of kung fu movie cliches and Asian stereotypes, and was largely overshadowed by other, more notable first-person shooters. More recently, while Duke Nukem was resurrected to resounding anger from fans and critics alike, Shadow Warrior was rebooted as a competent hybrid of first-person shooting and swordplay that maintained the low-brow humor of the original, while ditching its most egregiously dumb aspects and replacing them with copious arterial spray.
Not just a remake of the 2013 PC release, this console iteration of Shadow Warrior also introduces a new Arena mode not unlike the fan-favorite Horde mode found in Gears of War, as well as a host of new unlockable content.
