Stop What You’re Doing & Watch This Samurai Shodown Reveal NOW

You heard right, fighting game fans and SNK enthusiasts. The one true weapons-based fighting game (sorry SoulCalibur/Soul Edge & Weaponlord) is making a comeback, baby!

Don’t believe me? Take a look:

Let’s Break It Down

Is it in 2D? Yes! The game is using the Unreal Engine 4 to make it look as watercolour-esque as possible.
Is the original cast making a comeback? Hella yes! We see Haohmaru, Nakoruru, Galford & his bestest dog Poppy, Earthquake, Jubei, Ukyo, Tam Tam, Kyoshiro, Hanzo Hattori, Ginjuro (a.k.a Samurai Iori), and Charlotte.
Just like in the original, weapons-clashing will be a thing. There’s no news on whether the referee with the flags or items will return.
Also, there’s going to be a lot of blood. That’s always a plus in a weapons-based fighting game.
The game will be out in 2019. This SS’s timeline is set at 1787, the 7th year of the Tenmei era.
I’m guessing, like KOF XIV, this game is slated for the PS4 and maybe the PC in the near future. Nothing’s official yet, but my hunch about this is pretty strong.
Are Samurai Shodown V Special fatalities making a comeback? Seems like it. Check out the images via Famitsu so you can get a taste.
