SNK Corporation is proud to announce the launch of Samurai Shodown (Currently available for PS4/ Xbox One/ Nintendo Switch/ Stadia/ and the Epic Games Store) on the next-gen consoles Xbox Series X|S coming March, 16th, 2021!

Since its first debut in 1993, the Samurai Shodown series, known for its intense fast-paced battles and stunning characters, has been a shining example of weapon-based fighter games. In 2019 – 11 years after the last instalment – Samurai Shodown continued this tradition.

The new game is set in 18th century Japan, three years before the original game and sees the return of thirteen fan favourite characters. They are joined by three brand new characters. Among those are Samurai Shodown III protagonist Shizumaru Hisame who joins the fight alongside Gongsun Li from the popular mobile game Honour of Kings. Additional characters are available via Season Pass 1 and 2, with the third one slated to be released in February 2021. Classic Samurai Shodown concepts like the Rage Gauge, Lightning Blade, and Super Special Moves also made their return and allow players to turn the tables on their enemies even as they are close to death.
