This weekend is EVO 2022, the main event of the fighting game scene. Many companies take advantage of the occasion to reveal news of their current titles and one of those that appeared on the broadcast was SNK to share very special news for fans of samurai showdown.

The Japanese company announced that after almost 4 years of its original premiere, samurai showdown will implement rollback netcode, the preferred system for playing fighting titles, as it favors response time and the fluidity of combat.

When will the rollback netcode arrive at samurai showdown?

As incredible as it sounds, the title did not have this code, so it will be a welcome change for the community. However, you will have to be patient, as it is expected to be ready for all versions of the game until spring 2023.

According to the details, the rollback netcode is based on the solution using GGPO which was implemented in The King of Fighters XV and it was possible thanks to a collaboration with the Canadian studio Code Mystics, specialized in the remastering and emulation of video games.

Unfortunately, the news ended there and, unlike The King of Fighters XV, no plans to add cross-play were announced. No new DLC characters were revealed.

We will keep you informed.

In case you missed it: SNK is working on a mysterious new game powered by the Epic Games engine.
