Samurai Shodown launches June 25 for PS4 and Xbox One in the Americas and Europe

Purchase by June 30 to get the Season Pass completely free.

Samurai Shodown will launch for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on June 25 in the Americas and Europe, publisher Athlon Games and developer SNK announced.

In Japan, the game was previously announced for release on June 27. Switch and PC versions of Samurai Shodown are planned for release in Q4 2019.

Users who pre-order or purchase Samurai Shodown on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Live, or any physical retailer before June 30 will be able to download the Season Pass completely free.

“We’re extremely excited to finally confirm that June 25 will see the much anticipated return of Samurai Shodown—one of the founding figures of the fighting genre,” said SNK president Koichi Toyama in a press release. “As a thank you to the fans who have stuck with us during the long wait between the franchise installments, we’re pleased to offer the first six months of DLC completely free of charge to anyone who buys the game and redeems the game’s season pass within the first week of release, which will include four new fighters.”

Well, rejoice:



Game is selling like crazy in Japan and from preorders alone SamSho is already commercially successful.

Also:



Ant people already had a fucking tournament with the alpha version. Only six playable characters, but the gameplay seems to be 100% true to the classic arcade games.

Kazuki/Sogetsu , Rimururu, Cham Cham , Shizumaru, Basara/Gaira and (maybe) Amakusa will be Dlc. Calling it.

Called it right:



Rimururu is in. As a DLC. :negative:

Yeah, there is no way in hell the ninja brothers aren't coming back. In case anyone is wondering, here is a bit of gameplay with every single vanilla character:



56:39 if you want to see Hanzo take off his mask.

1:17:15 -> new Chinese girl character reflects projectiles

I really like the way it's looking. The animations and general gameplay are very smooth and fluid, unlike the turbo-speed clusterfucks you can sometimes find in e.g. new Mortal Kombat.

Rimururu as DLC is the absolute worst. Also, I hope the PC delay won't kill the game for good on steam.

In #lecurrentyear it was p. much inevitable. Charging extra for OG characters (like SFV making fucking GUILE into a DLC char) generates community butthurt and hurts the longevity of the game. Rimuru is perfect DLC material since she is NOT an OG character but she is not an obscure character either. By that same logic I'm 100% sure Kazuki/Sogetsu will come as DLC later on.

Also, I hope the PC delay won't kill the game for good on steam.

Delay doesn't hurt games on Steam, retarded greed does. Watch this:



TL;DW: SFV is on life support and DOA 6 stands for "dead on arrival". Fucking lol @ Arika's 1.5 average player count. Not gonna pretend T7 isn't fucking abusive as well, but BamCo still managed to find the "sweet milking spot" and make T7 a huge success. First time Tekken beats SF, both in players and tournament attendance, which is fucking YUGE. I get the feeling SamSho MIGHT fill the vacuum for good 2D fighters IF SNK doesn't fuck it up. But going by their support of KOF14, despite mediocre sales, I would say Samsho is looking REALLY good right now...

As for MK11, I'm sure it will follow the regular NRS route: big on release, 90% drop, life support for a year, death.

Oh I know that pre-launch DLC is to be expected these days, what I meant is that I just don't like the character :/
