You say you want a revolution…
Great news for fans of SNK’s great 2019 fighter Samurai Shodown. The one-year exclusivity deal with Epic Games Store is comin🦩g to an end, which means that the tense fighting title will finally launch on the Steam platform June 19. In addition, that same day will see the 🐽launch of a brand new DLC character: The notorious Shiro Tokisada Amakusa.
Amakusa is a recurring villain in the SamSho universe, having featured in numerous iterations in the decades-long series. Amakusa is a loose interpretation of a legendary revolutionary who was executed in Japan in the late-1600s after leading a band of Catholic followers in an attempt to overthrow the Shogunate. The SamSho iteration of Amakusa started out as an evil, power-hungry monster, but the lore has since pushed a “dual-personality” slant, with two independent spirits battling for dominance of Amakusa’s soul.
Shiro Tokisada Amakusa will be the third of Samurai Shodown‘s Season Pass 3 characters, following on from the recent releases of Cham Cham and Hibiki Takane. The fourth and final character will be a Guilty Gear guest star and is expected to arrive this summer. Samurai Shodown is a fine fig🌠hting title, unlike much else on the market. Hopefully the Steam release will open the reboot up to new players.
