In a very surprising and straight-up odd piece of news, SNK’s Samurai Shodown‘s next DLC character is “The Warden” from Ubisoft’s medieval multiplayer title For Honor. No, really.
The crossover nobody saw coming was announced during this morning New Game+ Expo, where The Warden was revealed as the final character drop for SamSho’s season two pass. Warden is a Vanguard hero from Ubisoft’s head-chopping game – armoured to the nines and equipped with a devastating broadsword. While SNK are no strangers to crossovers, it can’t be denied that the visual style of Warden seems a little out-of-whack with SamSho’s exuberant anime aesthetic, and is perhaps more suited to Soulcalibur.
Have sword, will travel, I suppose.
