Q&A: Autumn 2024
Fighters, here’s your fresh Q&A with the Shadow Fight 3 team!
Let’s start with a little spoiler: this year, we set out to focus on adding social systems to the game , but... plans don’t always work out as expected. What looks great on paper can be way harder to implement in real life. 🤯 The project has grown so much that pushing forward with all our ideas would’ve broken things without serious preparation. So, we had to slow down, rework our approach, and spend time testing and upgrading the tech.
But don’t worry — we’re still moving forward! While we’re busy improving the game, let’s dive into some of the most burning questions from you, our amazing community.
Let’s g... Hold up! We almost forgot to share with you a promo code in honor of Shadow Fight 3's 7th anniversary. Here it is!
The promo code will be usable until November, 25, so don't forget to use it!
Now we're really off—let's go!
Q: Will Shadow Fight 3 be available on PC?
A: Yes, we’re working on a way for you to play SF3 on PC with full progress sync between devices. This feature is already available in the U.S. through the official Shadow Fight 3 website, and we’re planning to roll it out to all regions soon.
Q: When will the story replay feature be available?
A: We know you’ve been waiting for this one! Initially, we planned to release this feature after launching social systems, but technical challenges got in the way. The game’s complexity has grown, so major updates like this will need significant backend adjustments first. Hang tight — it’s coming!
Q: What about clans? What’s planned for the next big update?
A: We’re keeping the details about clans under wraps for now. However, to celebrate the game’s anniversary, we’ll release a series of articles revealing all the details. Get ready to unite!
Q: Will the shop be reworked? Right now, the prices for gear seem too high, especially since many items can be earned through chests or boosters.
A: The new shop launched just over a month ago, and we’re constantly improving it. We’ve already fixed bugs, analyzed how you interact with it, and added new features like event shops, durability boost shops, and Abyss boss shops. Next week, we’ll roll out an update to adjust endgame gear prices. Keep the feedback coming — it helps us make the game even better!
A: We’d love to add more events, but technical challenges have made it a bit tricky. The first step in reworking events was changing the shop, which took more time than expected. Once that’s done, we’ll continue improving events. Our first test was the Autumn Festival, and fully revamped events will arrive later this year.
Q: Are there any new gear sets or set bonuses coming?
A: Absolutely! We’re balancing things by releasing unique new sets, updating old ones, and adding bonuses. The next set will add a bonus to an existing one. Can you guess which set and what bonuses it’ll get?
Q: What’s next for the storyline? When can we expect it?
A: The Abyss is set to take you to a whole new level of immersion in the Shadow Fight universe. As for when it’s coming… you’ll find out soon!
Q: Will there be more sets tied to Void Energy? The Liberator set was so cool, and it’s made us curious to learn more about Void Energy. And since Choir of the Void might also use this type of energy, can we expect more additions to these sets?
A: Absolutely! Void Energy is one of the 13 known energies in our world. We’re planning to release more sets that showcase its power and story. Stay tuned for new additions!
Q: Will Shogun ever join Shadow Fight 3?
A: We love Shadow Fight 2 lore, and Shogun might eventually make an appearance in SF3. Just like Widow made her way into the game, we’re open to bringing back fan-favorite characters — as long as they fit into the story and aren’t just fan service.
Q: Are there any real Legion fans on your development team?
A: Our team includes fans of all factions, Legion included. But when it comes to development decisions, we aim to create content that’s exciting for everyone, regardless of their faction preferences. Although, let’s admit — convincing “Legion fans” can be tough sometimes!
Q: Will we ever get to learn Shadow’s story, play as him, and fight in his style?
A: It’s entirely possible! Adventures already give you a chance to see the world through the eyes of different characters, and Shadow is no exception. When the time comes, you’ll not only learn about his inner conflicts but also feel his strength and power.
Q: When will we learn more about the Void, character backstories, and your plans for the future?
A: Void energy and character backstories are key parts of our world. While we know you’re excited, we’ve moved away from roadmaps to avoid overpromising. Instead, we’ll introduce a new way of sharing our plans for the year and shorter-term updates. Stay tuned for upcoming articles!
Q: What about character customization? Are hairstyles and makeup still planned?
A: Customization is a priority! We’ve added a color palette for gear and options to hide helmets. We’re also working on new faces and hairstyles — some are already prepared and will be introduced alongside other features.
That’s all for the first round of Q&A and articles! On November 22, 2024, we’ll share even more details about SF3’s future.
