Shadow Fight 2: Q&A - July 2025
A couple of weeks ago, we collected your questions about Shadow Fight 2, and we see that since the last article, you’ve had quite a few interesting ones! Thank you to everyone who responded. Our team has carefully read through all of them and is ready to answer the most interesting and frequently asked questions! Let’s get started!
General
Q: What inspired you to create such an interesting game series?
A: The writing team behind the Shadow Fight series is very diverse. Among us, some are passionate about tabletop games and RPGs, others love classic kung-fu movies from the ’70s, horror films (including those from Troma Studios), academic music, and jazz. Some even practice historical reenactment or fencing.
Our stories are always eclectic, and you never know which hobby or old movie might inspire a new idea.
Q: Do you plan to reveal the backstories of all the main characters — Shadow, May, Sensei, the shadow demons, and Titan?
A: We have already shared Sensei’s backstory and touched on the demons in the Shadow Fight 2 expansion, «Old Wounds». We are always considering delving deeper into the characters’ stories. However, it needs to be a truly great story that adds something new to their characters.
Q: When will the problem with cheaters be solved?!
A: We understand your frustration—and we share it completely. The work to detect and ban cheaters is ongoing, but unfortunately, not always instant. If you encounter suspicious behavior, don’t hesitate to report it to support—every complaint helps us keep the game cleaner.
Q: Will you add a «Report» button to the Raid mode in the next update? Many hackers are ruining the gameplay, and we can't do anything about it.
A: You can find the report button after the battle, in the raid participants menu.
Q: Do you plan to create video reviews of characters in the future? Will Titan return?
A: It’s a good idea, we’ll consider it. As for Titan — there’s no news yet.
Q: Will we be able to add other players as friends?
A: This feature is not available in the game, but you can team up by joining guilds.
Game modes & Equipment
Q: Are there plans to add the horn and other items marked as «in development»?
A: Possibly! We don’t reveal all our plans in advance, but if an item is marked as «in development», that’s a good sign.
Q: When is the 5th tier expected, and will it be added at all? If so, we’d love to see a new mythic set for it, like the Neo-Wanderer set for the 4th tier.
A: Yes, we plan to continue expanding the Underworld. Stay tuned — there will be plenty of exciting content!
Q: Is a new way to obtain old mythic sets planned?
A: We have ideas on how to implement this, and it is currently under discussion.
Q: When will new event bosses appear? Fighting the same Lamb over and over is getting boring.
A: Very soon! We’ll be introducing a new character to the ritual fights shortly. You’ll definitely like it.
Q: Are there plans to add one of the unreleased sets, like the Dragon set with the mythic enchantment «Stone Fetters», or will there be other mythic sets?
A: In the future, we plan to release new sets with unique enchantments.
Q: Will the game continue to develop, and is PvP planned for the future?
A: We are constantly developing the game, but the PvP mode is currently exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version.
Q: Will there be a separate version of the game for Nintendo Switch 2?
A: There are no plans for that at the moment.
Q: As someone who played Shadow Fight 1, I remember there was an option to get bosses as skins. Is there any plan to implement this feature in Shadow Fight 2 for the Raid mode? Or has this idea been considered before?
A: At the moment, we do not plan to implement this.
Q: Do you plan to occasionally spice up the event raid bosses? For example, replace the Lamb with the Architect and add his set for that?
A: Very soon, we will introduce a new character to the ritual fights — you’ll like it. We also have other plans to develop these modes further.
Q: You released three consecutive sets — Spore Soul, Abyss Mark, and Karcer — and none of them provided a noticeable advantage in fights. Can we expect major reworks of these sets?
A: Large-scale changes to sets are planned for the future. It’s possible that the ones you mentioned will be affected as well.
Story
Q: What is the explanation for Shadow’s appearance in the Raids, aside from the developers stating it’s non-canon? There are moments in the game — like Shadow's escapades in the Raids after defeating Titan — that could’ve just been cut out, leaving only a Underworld button without a story.
A: Actually, it is canon — just told from a different perspective. The Eternals are a vital part of the Shadow Fight universe, and you’ll learn more about their nature soon in Shadow Fight 3.
We added a story to the Raids because if one player — Shadow — is already a true combat powerhouse, then a whole team becomes an unstoppable army of warriors that wipes out everything in its path. Such overwhelming force needs an equally powerful opponent. And so, nature itself gifted the heroes of the game with just such a rival.
Q: What bothers me most is the lack of continuation of Sensei’s story. Why is it still missing?
A: In fact, the continuation of Sensei’s story is the plot of Shadow Fight 2. We always have more to tell about the game’s world and its heroes, so keep a close eye on events throughout the entire series — not just in SF2.
Sensei’s adventures may continue in any format — even one you might not expect.
Q: Is the Blackness truly immortal, or just a random character?
A: The Blackness is nature’s response to human behavior. It’s not a monster in the usual sense, not a human, and not an Immortal. Rather, it’s a mirror reflecting all of the above — a kind of moral tuning fork.
Q: Could you tell us more about Tenebris? How did he appear, and why did he create the Eternals, as well as light and darkness?
A: Tenebris is a being of a different order — neither good nor evil. It’s simply a force of nature. Like any natural force that may seem terrifying to us — such as an earthquake — Tenebris simply exists, to maintain balance. After all, someone must oversee the Eternals.
You’ll learn more about the nature of this entity in Shadow Fight 3.
Q: How exactly did the six demons, when they were still human, end up beyond the Gates in the Shadow Realm?
A: To conquer a new world, Titan needs locals who are open to his influence — for example, the vain, the especially cruel, or those who’ve been broken by traumatic events. Take Widow, for instance (as revealed in the Old Wounds expansion).
So they didn’t exactly pass through the Gates — rather, something seeped through or came from beyond them.
Q: When finishing the game, we see the final cutscene that everyone is already familiar with. Were there other versions of the ending considered during development?
A: Much like the setup for Shadow Fight 3, which was written before we fully knew where the story would go, we always knew how Shadow Fight 2 had to end.
Q: What happened to Cypher and Kali after Titan’s death?
A: Kali and Cypher stayed in their own world — after all, someone has to restore order there.
Q: Are Cypher and the Prince connected, or are they the same character?
A: No, they’re not connected. They’re two different characters. But here’s a little secret: the name Cypher is a reference to the Vector universe.
Are they two different Cyphers — or the same person? Who knows!
