Japanese classic blade-wielding game Samurai Shodown debuts on Netflix

Netflix is steadily increasing the number of gaming titles in its streaming service. It started with its own proprietary TV series-inspired Stranger Things and later, it introduced popular titles such as Arcanium: Rise of Akhan and Krispee Street earlier in the year.

Now, it is bringing four more titles -- Samurai Shodown, which is a reboot of the iconic Japanese game series.

It is a classic blade-wielding fighting gaming series. It comes with beautifully updated high-end visuals and gameplay with the faithfully recreated mechanics and atmosphere that first made Samurai Shodown a big hit among gaming enthusiasts.

Netflix welcomes four new games in August 2023

The new Samurai Shodown joins three other games that launched earlier this month- LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed by Gameloft, WrestleQuest by Mega Cat Studios, and Cut the Rope Daily by Zeptolab.
