Game developers Flying Wild Hog and Volition, along with the publishers at Devolver Digital and Deep Silver, have announced an unprecedented cross promotion between Shadow Warrior and Saints Row IV. Through this "groundbreaking show of absurdity," reads the press release, owners of Saints Row IV on Steam will unlock the legendary ‘Penetrator’ weapon in Flying Wild Hog’s reimagined Shadow Warrior as a powerful-but-elegant alternative to the traditional katana.
“I’m sorry I can’t really hear you over the sound of all that money being thrown at screens around the world,” said Fork Parker, Devolver Digital CFO. “And I don’t know what to tell you other than you can now wield a giant purple dildo from Saints Row IV in Shadow Warrior. There’s your headline, nerds.”
We're not really sure what else to say about this apart from screaming "shut up and take my money!" So we'll leave it at that.
Shadow Warrior is set to launch via Steam for PC on September 26, 2013. Saints Row IV is currently available for Steam, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
