SNK just announced that the previously-revealed mobile version of Samurai Shodown (Free) fighter is actually launching worldwide on Netflix next week. It is available as a soft launch right now in the Philippines. The full launch is planned for 29th August at 9 AM PDT. I own Samurai Shodown on every platform despite its online being abysmal on most of them. I love the game itself, and can’t wait to see how it plays on mobile when I get access to it. I will definitely be reviewing it and I’m redownloading it on Switch and Steam Deck to compare next week. Read Shaun’s review of Samurai Shodown on Switch here. Watch the Samurai Shodown Netflix trailer below:

If the port is good and the online works well, this will be my favorite addition to Netflix, which has already had a great year so far. You can check it out on Steam here as we wait for the mobile version to roll out worldwide. It is priced at $49.99 on Switch right now for the base game, and I assume the Netflix release has all DLC which makes it an amazing addition for Netflix subscriptions. From August 29th, you will be able to get Samurai Shodown on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here when it releases. Have you played Samurai Shodown before on PC or console and will you be trying it on Netflix next week?
