The Steam page reveals how Shadow Warrior 3 will take the offbeat first-person shooter franchise to the next level, mentioning a "seamless blend of fast-paced gunplay" with razor-sharp melee combat. There will also be a "spectacular" free-running movement system for the game, which is expected to release next year.

The gameplay details for Shadow Warrior 3 include how there will be double jumps, air dashes, wall running, finishing moves, and dynamic combat arenas. 

• Bring a Katana to a Gunfight - Conduct a symphony of death with each encounter by mixing overwhelming firepower with devastatingly precise katana strikes as you dash in and around the demonic hordes.
• Fancy Footwork - Flow between nimble movement techniques including air dashes, wall running, double jumps, and the fancy new grappling hook busts your combat and movement options wide open in every battle.
• Execute Then Annihilate - Execute spectacular finishing moves to claim a piece of your conquered foe and unleash its powers back on the horde in a burst of unstoppable fury and powerful magic.
• Dynamic Combat Arenas - Each environment is lined with hazardous structures and devices that can be activated to add another layer of creative choice to the offensive strategy.
• Neo Feudal Japan - Trek across a mythic Asian land infused with the magic and technology of ancient samurai, now overrun by the demonic yokai from Japanese folklore.
• Funny Business - Brace for expertly delivered one-liners from Lo Wang, pointed banter with Zilla, and an intense thrill-ride of absurd predicaments on the way to turning doomsday into a new day.

Everything about Shadow Warrior 3 revealed so far should make fans of the iconic franchise excited. Now, we just need to see some actual gameplay.
