Development

Samurai Shodown is being developed by SNK Corporation. The twelfth title in the Samurai Shodown series, it's the first mainline entry since 2008's Samurai Shodown Sen. The development team consists of members who worked on The King of Fighters XIV and SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy.[2] Nobuyuki Kuroki is the director and one of the artists,[2] while Yasuyuki Oda serves as producer. Oda has been previously involved with the series through the Samurai Shodown 64 titles.[5] Some of the reasons for making a new title were the recent focus on the eSports community and the many fan requests.[5] The team considered using a realistic art style for the graphics but decided against it because too many fighting games were using it already.[8] Oda has expressed interest in adding guest characters from other video game franchises.[5][8]
