The blood-puzzle action game of the Warriors of the Universe is coming to the Nintendo Switch!

Since its birth in 1993, the "SAMURAI SHODOWN" series has gained worldwide popularity as a sword-fighting fighting game in which players fight with weapons. Eleven years have passed since the last title, and a completely new title has finally arrived! While inheriting the series' appealing world view and gameplay, it has evolved into a new visual expression. The tension and exhilaration of the series are brought back to life on the Nintendo Switch.

The battle of the Tenka Muso swordsmen begins, set in the land of Hinomoto!

A total of 16 swordsmen, including 13 popular characters from the series' past and 3 new characters who add excitement to the storyline, have joined the game. Set in Japan one year before the first "SAMURAI SHODOWN," the game opens the curtain on the battles of swordsmen who will follow their own convictions.

Tense and exhilarating gameplay!


The game features popular systems of the past, such as the rage gauge, the flash, and the secret secrets of the sword. The game pursues a "sense of tension" where a momentary lapse can mean the difference between life and death, and an "exhilarating" one-hit-kill experience. Enjoy authentic fighting games on the Nintendo Switch!

With Nintendo Switch, you can enjoy the game anytime, anywhere!

Using the Nintendo Switch's "Table Mode," you can share the controller with a friend, share the screen, and play against each other. With the portable mode, you can easily play anywhere you want.

New characters will join the game one after another as DLC!
