There is a release date for Samurai Shodown to come to the Xbox Series X with more gamers getting to experience this version of Samurai Shodown
It was inevitable, but now we know that Samurai Shodown is on its way to the Xbox Series X in a full way now and not just through the backward ability of the system. On its way on March 16th for those looking to jump on the pre-order train right now. Also, on its way in both a digital and physical form for those who have a solid preference on how they want to add Samurai Shodown to their libraries around then. Not to mention it will be coming with all of that DLC we have had out there since it first launched and saw the season of characters added right into the full title.
In addition to this version of Samurai Shodown coming out, it is also stated that those who picked up the game on the Xbox One, you will be able to upgrade to this new version for free. That is something that was easy to assume, but it is listed specifically so you do not need to worry about having to make a different purchase out there. This also goes with all of the DLC that you might have for Samurai Shodown before now. That means you can pick up any of it you might not have now and then know it will slide right in on the new system once you are able to get it. Do what you wish now that you have all of the information out there.

Among those are Samurai Shodown III protagonist Shizumaru Hisame joins the fight alongside GONGSUN LI from the massively popular mobile game Honor of Kings. Additional characters are available via Season Pass 1 and 2, with the third one slated to be released in February 2021. Classic Samurai Shodown concepts like the Rage Gauge, Lightning Blade, and Super Special Moves also made their return and allow players to turn the tables on their enemies even as they are close to death.
On March 16th, 2021, the latest installment in the series will be released on Xbox Series X|S. On Xbox Series X, the game will run at a smooth 120 FPS. Owners of the previous-gen version of the game will be able to play the game on Series X|S without any additional costs thanks to Smart Delivery, purchased DLCs will also be transferable.
For all fans of fighting games who like to add the latest edition of Samurai Shodown to their physical collection, Koch Media will publish the boxed version which is offering attractive bonuses to enjoy: The Season Pass 1, which includes 4 characters and a costume, and also the brand new character Cham Cham is going to join the huge roster of fighters as soon as the respective DLC is released. The physical version will be available for purchase at participating online retailers and in stores.
