Samurai Shodown is one of the more unique fighting games. It’s a fighter that’s weapons-based but with a lot of depth. It might not feature at too many competitions, but it’s one of the best fighting games around and does a lot with its unique premise. It seems like a lot more players are going to get the chance to play the game soon too. A Samurai Shodown Netflix release is coming!

This isn’t a tie-in anime or TV series like you’d normally expect from a Netflix release. Instead, it’s part of the streaming platform’s foray into the world of games. They’ve secured the rights to use Samurai Shodown on their mobile gaming platform. The game is going to be free for everyone on mobile devices with a Netflix subscription. This is how the Samurai Shodown Netflix release is going to work.

Samurai Shodown Netflix Release

The Samurai Shodown release is going to be going live on August 29th 9 AM. It’s coming a little after the game got an initial trial on the service in the Philippines. However, it’s now going live worldwide.

Subscribers to Netflix will be able to access the game using Netflix. On both iOS and Android, it’s now going to be included as part of your subscription. Anyone with Netflix can load the game up.

This is a full version of the title. It’s got all of the modes, characters, online, and even the controls have even been adapted over for use on mobile devices. Along with that, players can make use of mobile controllers if they have accessible ones.

The Samurai Shodown Netflix release might be a mobile version of the game, but it’ll introduce the fighter to a whole new wave of players. The Netflix mobile gaming expansion is a bit of a weird case right now, not quite a full games streaming platform. However, making games like this more accessible to more players is definitely a good thing.
