Over a decade after the last samurai game of the series,Samurai Shodownis getting a reboot. SNK have reimagined yon olde fighting game from 1993 for the current generation of button mashers. Shodown just got slapped with a launch date right around the corner on June 11th. A collection of past Shodown games will join it on the same day.

SNK say that the new Shodown will also include “a revolutionary feature that learns from players game actions and patterns in order to create CPU-controlled ‘ghost’ characters.” You’ll be able to share your ghost and fight against the ghosts of other players as well.
