Throughout February, four new fighters will be added to Samurai Shodown courtesy of the second season of DLC content. Yes, you will need to pay for these extra characters as that's usually how these things go.
I wasn't told the price of this second season of DLC, but I'm assuming the new Season Pass will retail for $19.99 (USD) just as the first Season Pass retailed for. If you decide to purchase these new characters separately, they may run you $5.99, just as they were if you purchased the first season's characters separately. Again, these are just my guesses based on the first season of content. They may end up being more or less expensive once released.
The four new characters coming next season include Mina Majikina, Sogetsu Kazama, Iroha, and a mystery character. Oooh, who could it be? Could it be Kiryu from the Yakuza games or Dante from Devil May Cry? Probably not, but I'm sure some of you want that!
These characters will be added throughout February to the Xbox, PlayStation, and Stadia versions of the game. Those looking to get the Nintendo Switch version on February 25, will already have this content waiting for them, in addition to the first season of characters.
Character bios for the three known combatants can be found below. You can always see more at the official Samurai Shodown website.
