Saints Row IV Promo Brings the Penetrator to Shadow Warrior

This article is over 11 years old and may contain outdated information

Saints Row IV owners who purchase the upcoming Shadow Warrior will find that the game packs a little extra Wang.

You know what the Penetrator is, right? No? It’s essentially a giant pink-purple dong that made its debut as a melee weapon in Saints Row: The Third, and while it looks like it’s maybe a lightsaber or an oddly-colored baseball bat from a distance (a long distance), there’s no mistaking what it is up close. It’s sufficiently peen-ish, in fact, that it had to be censored in the Japanese version of the game.

Naturally, the Penetrator returned for Saints Row IV, and soon it will spread its batwings even wider: to Shadow Warrior, the upcoming shooter from Flying Wild Hog and – you guessed it – Devolver Digital.

“I’m sorry, I can’t really hear you over the sound of all that money being thrown at screens around the world,” Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker said in a press release. “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.”

I guess that does say it all: Anyone who owns Saints Row IV on Steam and purchases Shadow Warrior will be able to replace the game’s katana with a huge neon dildo. There are pictures, for those who have (perfectly understandable) doubts.

So who wants some wang?

Shadow Warrior comes to Steam on September 26.
