As we’ve talked about recently in our story about Shadow Fight 3, Nekki is releasing a premium edition of the popular Shadow Fight 2 (Free). Shadow Fight 2 came out in 2014 and was very popular, getting over 200 million downloads. However, it was a free-to-play experience, so it did come with all those monetization shenanigans that many players don’t exactly love. So, the developers are now bringing Shadow Fight 2 – Special Edition that doesn’t have an energy system, which means you can play it anytime and for as long as you want without having to shell out any money. And, since this is a premium version, there are no ads in the game.

The premium edition also adds a new story chapter, which brings over 10 hours of gameplay, and plenty of enhancements such as better better rewards for your victories. I think this special edition is a good idea and should give players of the original good reasons to come back to the game. Shadow Fight 2 – Special Edition will release August 17th.
