Samurai Shodown duels on the Epic Games Store in two weeks

Published , by Ozzie Mejia

The PC gaming community has been without last year's best fighting game for far too long. Fortunately for them, the wait for Samurai Shodown is almost over. In fact, it's going to be out in just two short weeks, though it's going to start out life as an Epic Games Store exclusive.

SNK made the announcement on Tuesday that Samurai Shodown would make the jump to the Epic Games Store. It's a case of "better late than never" for the PC version, as it will arrive with a full season of DLC characters having already been released. Those DLC characters will also be available separately via the Season Pass. Also keep in mind that there's a second season of characters in development.

For the unitiated, Samurai Shodown is a much simpler animal than its complex compatriots. Let's look back at our Shacknews Best Fighting Game of 2019 entry:

Samurai Shodown will release on the Epic Games Store on June 11 for $49.99, with each Season Pass running for $19.99. And stay tuned, because we'll have more on the Season 2 characters as they arrive.
