Shadow Fight 3 relaunches in China,  partnering with Wanda Cinema Games for a grand return

  • Shadow Fight 3 is now available once again to play in China
  • Through its partnership Wanda Cinema Games, Shadow Fight 3 will offer a fully localised version for Chinese players

As a longtime fan of the Shadow Fight series, this news has me doing cartwheels! The return of Shadow Fight 3 to China, partnered with Wanda Cinema Games, is like a dream come true for players who have eagerly awaited its comeback. I still remember the thrill of playing Shadow Fight 2 in China and the anticipation for the next installment.


Nekki, the mastermind behind the popular Shadow Fight series, is thrilled to unveil the Chinese re-release of Shadow Fight 3. This collaboration with Wanda Cinema Games marks a major step as the game makes its comeback in one of the world’s most significant gaming markets. Fervent fans in China have long anticipated this return.

Ever since its launch in November 2017, the gaming sensation Shadow Fight 3 has enchanted a staggering 230 million players globally. In China, where Shadow Fight 2 paved the way for its triumph, it had already carved out a robust presence. By 2021, China became the leading market on the App Store, accounting for a quarter of the game’s total iOS downloads.

In August 2023, after continuous endeavors from Nekki and its Chinese associates, the game Shadow Fight 3 was given an ISBN license by China’s State Administration of Press and Publication (SAPP). This is a noteworthy accomplishment as only 98 foreign games were licensed that year. The upcoming relaunch has generated great excitement, with over 1.6 million people already pre-registering for it.

Collaborating with Wanda Cinema Games, a prominent figure in Chinese entertainment and game publishing since 2011, Shadow Fight 3 is preparing to deliver a tailored experience for Chinese gamers by localizing the game. With its vast user base, cinema media, and advertising resources, Wanda Cinema Games aims to establish an interactive entertainment network that boosts both game and movie marketing efforts.

“Dmitry Terekhin, our company’s founder and CEO at Nekki, expressed his eagerness to reintroduce Shadow Fight 3 to our Chinese fanbase. By partnering with Wanda Cinema Games, we aim to create a gaming experience that will deeply connect with local players. We are eagerly anticipating expanding our game portfolio in China.”

Shadow Fight 3 can be obtained for free by downloading it from either the App Store or Google Play.
