Hi-Octane beginnings That shotgun is going to cause a mess with these frozen enemies Basically, if they choose to carry out their threats of boycotting the game, well I’m certainly not going to lose any sleep and I doubt the good folks at Devolver will either. Obviously, parts of the internet reacted with predictable outrage about the removal of a white actor from an Asian role, but the less said about them the better.

Moh’s most notable TV work was as Steve Cho in Empire, but he also has some martial arts experience as Bruce Lee in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Also arriving are Andromeda Dunker (Motoko) and SungWon Cho (Zilla). You play Lo Wang (yes, I’m assuming it is the first of the many penis gags), but this time, obviously the real world has changed and Flying Wild Hog has changed the voice actor of Wang to Mike Moh from Jason Liebrecht.ĭevolver said on announcing Moh that the voice changes were part of an effort to “correct our mistake” of not casting Asian actors for Asian roles. I hadn’t played the other two games in the rebooted series, although I did play the original waaaay back at the end of the 90s and, even though Shadow Warrior 3 continues the story, it hardly matters. I’m not going to dwell here, there’s no point. Get out kid, I’ve got demons to eviscerate. My 13-year-old daughter came into my home office while I was playing this to ask me to tone down my language. Not just the swearing the game’s protagonists spew out, but the swearing pouring from your own face as you die, and die, and die again. Gore, adult humor and visceral mind-blowing action are all ahead of you as you boot this threequal from Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital. The game will launch digitally this March 1st – there’s no news of a physical release just yet.If you are looking for a game to enjoy with kids, yeah Shadow Warrior 3 probably isn’t the one. You can pre-order Shadow Warrior 3 on PC, PlayStation and Xbox which, on consoles, will include the first two Shadow Warrior games. The above trailer shows off Moh and Dunker’s performances – there’s no sign of SungWon Cho (also known as ProZD) but, as his YouTube channel and other game-related work proves, he’s a hugely capable voice actor.

Devolver and Flying Wild Hog have, through recasting these roles, ensured that the characters are being played by actual Asian voice-actors, and not someone putting on an affectation.Ĭould this be why the game was delayed? Re-recording the game’s dialogue with three new actors can’t have been an easy task – but we think it was a smart choice, particularly since the Shadow Warrior series is based (loosely) on Eastern mythology. You see, Lo Wang and Zilla, despite being asian, were played by non-Asian actors, which isn’t a great look.
On reflection, however, it’s easy enough to figure out. Flying Wild Hog hasn’t stated why those three characters were recast (though we hope the original actors were paid for their work). No, Jason Liebrecht and his fellow voice actors weren’t caught stuffing their pockets with Devolver Digital merchandise. Mike Moh will be playing protagonist Lo Wang, SungWon Cho is enemy-turned-ally Orochi Zilla and Andromeda Dunker is Motoko, who’s set to assist the pair. Developers Flying Wild Hog and publishers Devolver Digital have revealed that three of the game’s characters have new voice actors. However, there’s also been a big behind-the-scenes change. Now, this March 1st we, and the rest of the gaming world, will be able to get our hands dirty as we slash and shoot our way through some truly bizarre enemies. We loved Shadow Warrior 2’s bloody mayhem, so we were happy to wait a little while if it it meant that modern ninja Lo Wang’s latest adventure would be up to scratch. The tongue-in-cheek slash-em-up was due for release last year but was delayed to “give it a little more polish”. Shadow Warrior 3 is arriving this March and it’s bringing an all-new voice cast with it.
