The Samurai Shodown franchise as a whole has been completely dormant since Samurai Shodown Anthology released in 2009; the last “real” Samurai Shodown game was Samurai Shodown 6, released in 2006 for the PlayStation 2.
SNK’s Samurai Shodown, also known as Samurai Spirits in Japan, will see a new title release in 2019 for consoles.
The real question is whether the title will see enough interest from fighting game fans.
No further information was provided on the next title though it will adhere to the series’ tradition of weapons-based fighting.
