First Shadow Warrior 2 Update Now Available

Shadow Warrior 2 is off to a great start, once again showing that a game doesn’t have to be completely original to do well, but show that the developers put in the effort to make a nicely polished and well-optimised product. Of course, it still had a few minor faults that needed fixing, but the team at Flying Wild Hog must have been burning the midnight oil, as the first big patch is already available to download.

The update adds a HDR Brightness Slider, additional FOV fixes, a safe mode option, and more.
