SNK is revealing a new character trailer showing off its latest addition to Samurai Shodown, Hibiki Takane. The crossover character is set to join the long-running Japanese fighting game's roster next week.
The 20th entry in SNKs long-running fighting franchise announced its third batch of DLC characters at the beginning of the year. Two of those character's identities have been revealed thus far, with players now knowing when Hibiki will arrive. While released in 2019, Xbox Series X players recently received an early next-gen upgrade, boosting the game's framerate to a smooth 120 FPS.
Originally hailing from the '90s SNK title The Last Blade 2, Hibiki Takane's backstory involves being the daughter of a blacksmith who heads off on a journey to find Setsuna, a silver-haired man after her father is murdered following the forging of a particular sword that Setsuna requested. She has since appeared as a guest character in other titles, including the crossover fighter Capcom VS. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001. Samurai Shodown players can check out her new trailer, which showcases moves from the “Innocent Slash.”
Hibiki Takane will join the roster as the second DLC character from Samurai Shodown's Season Pass 3, joining other crossover characters like For Honor's Warden and Gongsun Li from Honor of Kings. The first character from the current pass was Cham Cham from Samurai Shodown 2, but otherwise, players are still mostly in the dark as to who the remaining two characters are, save for one confirmed from Arc System Works’ Guilty Gear. With Cham Cham joining last month, and Hibiki joining next week, players can likely expect info regarding the remaining two fighters sooner than later.
Samurai Shodown is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
