Brandishing a sword and a smarmy attitude, 1990s hero Lo Wang has returned in the re-imagined Shadow Warrior from developer Flying Wild Hog.

Other than the main character's name and some innuendo-laden humor, the upcoming Shadow Warrior is a different game. Gone is the (mostly) insensitive humor, replaced with over-the-top gore and a sword that's a treat to use.

The modern Shadow Warrior harkens back to the good ol' PC days, where enemies were plentiful and heath pick-ups were your only means of survival.

Shadow Warrior launches for the PC and unspecified next-gen consoles in 2014.
