It looks like developer Flying Wild Hog and publisher Devolver Digital is whipping out its first DLC for "Shadow Warrior 2" called "The Way of the Wang."
The pun-filled title is not what anybody else thinks but we'll be seeing more of Wang (the last name of the protagonist Lo Wang) in this new downloadable content with new weapons, gameplay abilities, and more difficulty tiers, according to the recent report covered by Dualshockers.
First to be discussed is the new area for the game's hub town, which will feature seven new special trials for the witty, foul-mannered hero in order for him to complete and unlock.
Players will also get to access new crafting abilities weapon gem slots, and base weapon stat upgrades once each trial has been accomplished. Once each of these trials has been done with successfully, players would be able to get their hands on the new Fist of Gozu battle axe. Based on the trailer Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital have released, the Fist of Gozu seems to allow players to hack most of the enemies almost instantly delivering bloody and devastating effects.
"The Way of the Wang" DLC also offers three new tiers for Insane difficulty, as well as five new achievements to unlock in the campaign.
The trailer also shows a montage of gore and comedic quips by the protagonistic Asian mercenary, running at 1 minute and 17 seconds of gameplay.
For those who don't know what "Shadow Warrior 2" is here's the plot, thanks to its Steam page:
"Five years have passed since Lo Wang shattered the alliance between his deceitful former boss and the ancient gods of the shadow realm. Despite noble intentions, Lo Wang's efforts to annihilate the darkness corrupted the world, creating a strange and savage new order where humans and demons live side by side.
The once feared warrior now lives in the shifting wildlands outside the reach of his enemies and the neon glow of Zilla's cybernetic metropolis, scratching out a meager existence as a hired sword for the local Yakuza clans. When a simple mission goes wrong, Lo Wang is drawn into a volatile conflict between a brilliant young scientist, his nemesis Orochi Zilla, and the demonic forces that have become unsettled in our world. The sharp-tongued hero must once again wield lethal blades, staggering firepower, and archaic magic to purge the world of evil."
