Shadow Warrior 3's latest update gives players one more reason to play it again. Developer Flying Wild Hog released an important update recently that added highly demanded features, dozens of bug fixes, and multiple QoL tweaks.

New Game Plus has finally arrived in the game. You can replay any level with NG+ mode, along with your weapons and skills. Pre-defined Weapon Pickups are still present. However, in this mode, they will only give players more ammunition.

The patch also brings new challenges that will be exclusive to NG+ mode. You can check them out via the “Challenges” tab. New weapon skins are also added, which will unlock after completing challenges. You can read the rest of the highlights of the update below.
