Update 07/08 – Rimururu is now available to download for £4.99 and is immediately unlockable in the game.

During EVOFest, another fighting game received some big announcements in the form of new DLC.

Samurai Shodown, fresh from its Soul Calibur VI crossover news, will also receive five new DLC fighters through 2019.

Beginning this month, Samurai Shodown will receive Rimururu on August 7.

From there, a free DLC character for everyone will emerge in September – Shizumaru Hisame and October sees the arrival of Basara.

Rounding out the year will be Kazuki Kazama in November and Wan-Fu in December.

And if that’s not enough, 2020 will add another season of DLC to the game, beginning with Mina Makijina.
