Piggybacking off the announcement of Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection, SNK has also revealed that the Epic Games Store will be getting Samurai Shodown(2019) — the latest entry in their sword-fighting series — in just a few more weeks from today.
Samurai Shodown(2019) is a soft reboot of the series, bringing back a bunch of fan-favourite characters that have appeared in previous games, while also adding a handful of new fighters in order to keep things interesting for both veteran players and newcomers.
As revealed by SNK, Samurai Shodown(2019) will become available o nthe Epic Games Store on the 11th of June, which is actually the same day the recently announced Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection is launching, so Epic players are definitely in for a treat with all those fantastic games coming their way.
Pre-orders for the game are currently open via Epic Games Store's official website, and those who choose to pre-order will be getting a 10% discount on Samurai Shodown(2019).
What's really disappointing is that SNK announced Samurai Shodown(2019) for PC in March of 2019, and the game has already released for every single one of the other platforms — while PC players still don't have an official release date for the game; unless this is the "PC version" and Steam players got screwed over.
