After having been missing in action for over a decade,
SNK announced back in October that they were going to be bringing back
Samurai Shodown, their acclaimed sword-fighting series, with a brand-new game that will also be a reboot for the iconic franchise.
Being the new
Samurai Shodown a series' reboot through and through, SNK has made sure to bring a bunch of the original characters back and with their original designs; keeping the essence of both the series and the characters intact.
This isn't to say that there won't be any new characters, as they have also revealed a bunch of newcomers that have already garnered a fanbase; particularly
Darli Dagger, who looks like she'll soon become a fan-favorite amongst long-time fans of the series.
Today, however, SNK is focusing on one of the returning characters from the very first
Samurai Shodown for the Neo Geo MVS, as they released a short but sweet character trailer for the Master of Iaijutsu, and Haohmaru's former rival, Ukyo Tachibana.
Take a look:
After more than a decade, Samurai Shodown is back! SNK is rebooting one of its most successful series, carrying on the legacy of past titles with a new game that retains the same thrilling battles of past titles in a graphically advanced package.
Samurai Shodown will be available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC in on the 27th of June.
