Samurai Shodown is a video game series that has been dormant for 11 years, but it's now making its triumphant return. This new installment will feature high-end visuals and faithful recreations of the game mechanics and atmosphere that have made the series so successful. It also includes an AI feature which can learn from player actions to create "ghost" characters controlled by the CPU. Set one year before the first installment, Samurai Shodown features both returning and new characters whose destinies are intertwined as they all strive towards their goals.
