Samurai Shodown Begins Weekly Character Trailer Reveals Starting With Nakoruru

SNK and Athlon Games announced that they will be releasing new character trailers for their upcoming fighter, Samurai Shodown, coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this June, and Nintendo Switch and PC in Q4 of 2019.

This week’s trailer focuses on the Kamui warrior Nakoruru. As a fan favorite character, Nakoruru shows off her move set along with how she can execute combos with the help of her trusty pet Mamahaha. Nakoruru has a love of nature and will do anything she can to protect that including beating the crap out of people who cross the line or dishonor her.

Samurai Shodown will reboot the 2D fighting game series by presenting it with a new 3D graphical look. However, the developer promises that it will retain the classic fantasy Samurai manga look of the series.

Samurai Shodown is set in the late 18th century after the events of Samurai Showdown V and prior to the events of the original game. As of right now, the game will see the return of thirteen classic characters, including Haohmaru, Earthquake, and Galford, along with three brand new characters to the series. The game also has planned DLC character for after launch.
