Rumor: New Samurai Shodown due out in 2017

SNK Playmore is working on a new entry in its Samurai Shodown series due out in 2017, according to two independent sources of Hadoken.net.

The new Samurai Shodown will bring the series back to its roots, and similar to The Kingd of Fighters XIV, use 2D gameplay with 3D models, according to the website.

SNK Playmore is reportedly also planning to release the game alongside a new anime adaptation.

The latest entry in the Samurai Shodown series, Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny, launched for Xbox 360 in 2009. It was the fourth 3D game in the series.

The producer of Tekken wants to make his own Samurai Shodown game: SNK, please let Katsuhiro Harada bring it back!

Back in April, TecMundo Games caught up with Tekken Producer Katsuhiro Harada and Game Designer Michael Murray to discuss the game's latest installment, Fated Retribution. For fun, their editor Guilherme Sarda asked both Bandai Namco representatives which fighting game not made by their company is their favorite.

Hardada noted that his favorite fighter is actually SNK's title, Samurai Shodown, while Murray chose Garou: Mark of Wolves.

Because of Harada's answer nearly seven months ago, Sarda decided to revisit the topic with Harada at the King of the Iron Fist tournament earlier this week.

Harada was asked if there is any chance that Bandai Namco would be willing to do some sort of crossover with SNK to feature Samurai Shodown characters in one of their games, much like we've seen with Capcom's Akuma in Tekken 7 most recently.

It looks like Harada's idea for Samurai Shodown extends beyond a simple collaboration.
"More than still talk of the possibility of a collaboration, we would like to buy the rights and make ourselves a new Samurai Shodown title and put the franchise back on the map through our vision," Harada exclaimed. "It is a distant dream, but a dream."

Though this was mostly said in jest, Harada later reaffirmed the desire to be at the helm of a Samurai Shodown revival.

Samurai Showdown was amazing. I'd definitely love to play it again.

If it's PC I'm interested.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

I'd sure get it as well. Just for the memory of the good old days and playing it then.

I hear ya, 99% of gaming is nostalgia for me minus a few series. When I have the time that is.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

I engage in my nostalgia by playing older stuff lol.

I would be interested to see a new Samurai Shodown title via Harada developing the game along with him going from creating 3D fighter Tekken to possibly a 2D fighter.

So many crossovers in fighting games these days. I remember alot of them were dream matches when I was a kid and now they're coming true.

Marvel Vs Capcom Vs Snk Too bad Capcom and SNK don't get along too well.

Yea those have been out for a while. I thought you meant something more recent. I thought they would consider it again at some point but I'm not sure.
