‘Shadow Warrior 3’ And ‘Weird West’ Among Devolver Digital Titles For “2021 Game of The Year”
Devolver Digital are at it again. Known for their over-the-top “not E3” conferences, the developer is switching things up with holding their own awards show prior to The Game Awards 2020 kicking off on Thursday. The kicker is that this “Devolver Digital 2021 Game of the Year Award” will focus on “announced games releasing in 2021”, including the upcoming Shadow Warrior 3 and Weird West.
The show will consist of five of Devolver’s titles – Shadow Warrior 3, Weird West, Olija, Card Shark, and Boomerang X – battling it out to see who “wins”. To say that this is unorthodox is an understatement, but then again, this is Devolver Digital.
The Devolver Digital 2021 Game of the Year Award kicks off half an hour before The Game Awards 2020, which starts at 7 PM EST on December 10.
Shadow Warrior 3 and Weird West will launch for PC via Steam in 2021. You can wishlist both games via Steam here and here.

In Cost of Hope, players once again step into the role of Skif — the protagonist of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — as a mysterious PDA signal draws him into events unfolding alongside the main game’s story. Players will explore uncharted locations, encounter unexpected allies and enemies, discover powerful weapons, and experience a new story. With dozens of hours of content, your choices will shape the future of the Zone in this major new chapter of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga.
Launching in line with Cost of Hope will be a “massive” Update 2.0 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Available as a free update to all owners of the game, the update will upgrade the game to a new version of Unreal Engine 5, as well as bring a variety of new content and improvements.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will launch for PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.com, the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
