Samurai Shodown V Special is coming to PS4 and PS Vita, and it’s playable at Evo 2017

Teased by SNK earlier today and then revealed on the PlayStation Blog, an uncut version of Samurai Shodown V Special is coming to PS4 and PS Vita. This port contains all the blood and gore from the arcade original, with a beta version playable at Evo 2017.

SNK are working with Code Mystics for this port–the company who handled the recent PS4 and PS Vita rerelease of Garou: Mark of the Wolves. As a result, this version of Samurai Shodown V Special will feature Trophies, online multiplayer and a special Gallery mode where players can unlock artwork and other behind-the-scenes bits and pieces.

If you want to try out the beta build of the SNK classic, it will be playable at the Sega/Atlus booth on the Evo show floor.
