Samurai Shodown (2019) Coming to Steam June 12th, Amakusa Announced as Next Season 3 Character

  

SNK made a surprise announcement tonight! Samurai Shodown (2019) is officially headed to Steam on June 12th, 2021 — hopefully with improved netcode. Additionally, the original boss of the first Samurai Shodown, Shiro Tokisada Amakusa, was announced as the third DLC character of Season Pass 3 and will also be joining the game on June 12th. The ending sequence of Samurai Shodown (2019) included a teaser of Amakusa's weapon (the Gadamer Gem) since launch, so it was only a matter of time before he made his arrival. The first promotional image of SS2019 Amakusa was revealed by SNK on Twitter. SNK hasn't released a gameplay teaser or trailer for Amakusa yet, but check out the official tweet confirming tonight's news, below.
 

  
[UPDATE] Here's a look at the updated Season 3 roadmap. Once again, a (unannounced) guest character from the Guilty Gear series will be the final character added in Season Pass 3... Baiken, is that you?
 

 
     Stay tuned on Fighters Generation for Samurai Shodown announcements!
