Update 10/13: Shadow Warrior 2 is now released and the pre-purchase deals have dried up slightly. Have no fear, you can still get the game for up to 20% off.
Thursday marks the big PC release forShadow Warrior 2, and if you’re a fan of the series willing to take a chance to pre-order the game before it goes live, discounts are showing up worth a gander. In fact if you know where to look the Steam copy ofShadow Warrior 2is up to 27% off.
The best deal is at digital retailer GMG, where a27% discount slashesthe price to $29.25, or almost $11 off the $40 list price. The deal is achieved by taking two steps: 1) Logging in or creating an account at GMG; 2) AddingShadow Warrior 2to cart and applying coupon codeVIP5to checkout. It’s the best price online.
Shadow Warrior 2 Steam Deals
GMG has the best Standard Edition price but a great alternative, and the best price for Deluxe, is at DLGamer. There you’ll find the Standard edition 20% off (lower than GMG’s offering) but the Deluxe is 22% off with a drop from $50 to $39.97. Both of these offers are intended to be pre-order incentives and will likely expire the day of or afterShadow Warrior 2goes live on PC. If you’re a console gamer you’ll have to wait for early 2017 for its release.
Pre-Order Bonus and Deluxe Details
If you pre-order on Steam, DLGamer, or Good Old Games - you’ll receive the Razorback Chainsaw Katana. For Green Man Gaming’s deal, it looks like the discount supersedes the pre-order bonus as its simply not mentioned. We’ve reached out and confirmed with GMG that the Razorback Chainsaw is not included with the Steam key sold at GMG - so take that into consideration if you’re picking up a copy before Thursday’s release.
For the Digital Deluxe version that’s being sold on Steam, DLGamer, and elsewhere, you’ll simply enjoy additional Shadow Warrior 2 related content. Production related goodies includes the OST and digital artbook. For content, you’ll receive the “Solid Gold Pack” which contains co-op gold ninja skin, gold katana, and gold MP7 - a clear indicator that you’re a baller willing to spend big bucks.
Of course, whether or not theShadow Warrior 2Digital Deluxe is worth the additional $10 is subjective at best. Our opinion? Pass. Had the Digital Deluxe came with the Season Pass we would probably be singing a different tune, but undoubtedly if that was the case then the Deluxe will most likely be priced much higher as well.
Shadow Warrior 2releases on Thursday October 13 for the PC on Steam platform. Console versions for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are expected to arrive in Q1 of 2017.
