Shadow Warrior 3 is Launching March 1 for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S

Good morning, Xbox fans and gamers! Lo Wang, my name is Lo Wang. I am Chief Head of Marketing Execution at Flying Wild Hog. Kinda. I’m also the star of the game, so let’s just roll with it. Together with my entire marketing and PR team, today I am proud to present the incredible trailer for the game’s release date. Shadow Warrior 3!

This trailer has been in our hands for quite some time. We’ve done many A/B (even C!) tests, we spoke to our chief demographic on a “deep and personal” level to gain insights, and we’ve conducted qualitative and quantitative research to improve this wonderful piece of marketing content. And now, we are proud to say that our target market has unanimously stated that this trailer is “cool”, which means our job is done (let the guys at biz dev worry about sales – hahahahahaha! Do you believe me?).

Now, our friends over at Xbox have told us that apart from showing our trailer, they will also allow us – Me – to create a blog post about the game as well. A huge gamer, myself. Shadow WarriorThis is the ultimate dream! This is a great opportunity to market more as the Chief Head of Strategic Planning Strategy and Marketing Execution. Now, the eggheads in Production and Art told me that if I go overboard, they won’t be delivering any further marketing materials, so we have to tread very lightly. So let’s see what this game is all about:

Shadow Warrior 3This is an action-oriented, fast-paced love song written by the first person. As Lo Wang, an ex-Yakuza mercenary, with quips quicker than a day one patch (I‘ve got to admit, those bookworms in the Narrative department actually did a good job) it’s your job to save the world from a disaster you’re also technically responsible for. Lo Wang nearly plunged the world into an all-out apocalypse when he accidentally opened a multidimensional prison cell containing a massive world-eating Dragon. Now, finding himself in something of a prophetic predicament, and – more importantly – with his mojo lost, Lo Wang is forced to team up with his own nemesis, the ex-billionaire Orochi Zilla, and his newly enlisted ally Motoko, to set things right. Lo Wang is not the only one who suffers from ultra-malign Yokai demons, but he also has to deal with distrust and suspicion between Lo Wang, his Discount Heroes, and himself. Those eggheads can write!).

Ok, I’m back. After speaking with the Narrative team further, I discovered that I must awaken an Ancient Artifact to be able to defeat this dragon. Although all the Ancients were devoured by the dragon during the apocalyptic event, there’s one last item that can still be used to pierce through the dragon’s impenetrable scale – Hoji’s mask, an heirloom of my late and only friend! Crazy, right?! To awaken that power, I need help from Motoko, the last remaining sorceress of the Kumo Brotherhood, an organization so secret no one knows what they do, why they exist, or where they keep their clubhouse (kinda like the biz dev team – am I right!?!). Is that the raccoon? It’s a Tanuki – a representation of Motoko’s power, a guardian spirit. Although it’s cute, the Tanuki is a fighter demon that smells and eats everything. And as I’m reading the notes from the Narration team, it all makes sense now. I thought that the raccoon was just a genius marketing trick – his demographic likeability tests went through the roof! I must catch him as soon as possible!

That’s all for now, but thank you Xbox fans for reading my first ever blog post. Both you and I learned something new about this game. And that’s what Shadow Warrior 3 is all about – being better, more educated human beings. No! Wait! Actually, I’ve just been informed that that’s not true – it’s about slaying demons in the coolest way possible while flinging awesome one-liners and making things go boom. And you know what, that’s pretty cool too. Shadow Warrior 3S.|S on March 1, but it’s available to pre-order today! We’ll see you there!
