Samurai Shodown PS4 Release Date Set for June

Ready your blade

by Robert Ramsey Mon 25th Mar 2019

Announced as a main game for Evo 2019, which takes place in August, we already knew that Samurai Shodown would have to launch a decent amount of time before the big event. The good news is that seems to be the case, as SNK has slapped a June release window on the upcoming PlayStation 4 instalment. This should give players at least one month to get stuck in before the tournament begins.

SNK has also confirmed that the title will feature a total of 16 playable characters at launch. 13 of them will be returning characters, and three of them will be totally new.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Certainly interested - if it does well, hopefully SNK will pay more attention to their other properties beyond re releases.

Definitely interested to see who the returning cast will be and how the new characters will look. But man, just basically a month to get ready for evo for this game.

I definitely interested in this game, I just hope the game has opening and ending story for each characters rather than 1 big 3-4 hours story mode like tekken 7/doa 6.

Edit: Just saw the new trailer, the game is looking good
