In a recent announcement, Bandai Namco has revealed that the release of the Xbox One and PS4 ports of Shadow Warrior - the remake of 3D Realms' old shooter Shadow Warrior for the two new consoles - has been delayed until October.

The Xbox One and PS4 remake of the 1990s classic FPS was earlier scheduled to be launched in Europe on September 26, to be followed by the North America release of the game in the same month. However, the launch has now been postponed to October 24.

The PC version of the Shadow Warrior game was released last year. The release marked the next-generation version of Flying Wild Hog's reboot of the game.

With regard to the delay in the launch of the Xbox One and PS4 remake of Shadow Warrior, the Flying Wild Hog said that the reason prompting the push back of the game's launch to October is to add some more polish to the final product.

Flying Wild Hog said in a statement: "Bringing Shadow Warrior to PS4 and XB1 has proven to be a challenge for us as we want to make sure the player experience is perfect. In play testing we have been focusing in on the controller inputs and response."
