The Season Pass 3 will be getting its newest character on all platforms: Shiro Tokisada Amakusa. He appeared in the very first Samurai Shodown game as the final boss back in 1993. Their menacing legacy has made an impact on the series as they’ve also appeared in Samurai Shodown III (1995), Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa’s Revenge (1996), and Samurai Shodown V Special (2004). Now, the boss that defined the series has returned.

The DLC set contains four characters in total, with Cham Cham and Hibiki Takane already released. The next character to join will be coming from Guilty Gear.
