Samurai Shodown Will Begin Its Rollback Netcode Open Beta In January 2023

The previously announced open beta test for the rollback netcode in Samurai Shodown (2019) will begin for PCs via Steam in January 2023.

The Samurai Shodown rollback netcode open beta test will then come to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox One X later in the spring of 2023. The Switch version of the game will not be getting rollback netcode.

Here is a brief description of Samurai Showdown (2019) from the game’s Steam page:

“A brand new Samurai Shodown game takes aim for the world stage! Samurai Shodown has enjoyed worldwide success as a blade-wielding fighting game series since its first release in 1993. Ten years have passed since the last series installment, and it is now time for Samurai Shodown to return to a brand-new game featuring high-end visuals and gameplay! Faithfully reproducing the game mechanics and atmosphere that contributed to the success of the series, Samurai Shodown includes a revolutionary feature that learns players’ game actions and patterns in order to create CPU-controlled “ghost” characters. With its story set one year before the very first installment, warriors and combatants from various backgrounds and with their own goals are about to battle to fulfill their destinies”!

  The new game aims to bring the same tense and exhilarating battles that the series is known for. Intense and epic battles are back!
• Evolving the Presentation
  Using the power of UNREAL ENGINE 4, the series is able to achieve a level of detail never before seen for a totally new visual experience!
• A Revolutionary new AI system
  Using revolutionary Deep Learning AI, the game will learn from player tactics and create Ghost characters that players around the globe can share and fight against.
