SNK has once again made the crossover element possible for two of its fighting game properties, as Samurai Showdown’s latest DLC character Hibiki Takane has her own trailer that introduces The Last Blade 2 fan favorite to the game!

Check out the footage below and see why this sword lady fits right in with rest of the other Sam Sho warriors!

As the second DLC character revealed for season pass 3, Hibiki is the daughter of a renowned swordsmith from the Bakumatsu era of Japan. Retiring to an isolated area in the countryside, their peace is shattered when a silver haired man radiating with an evil aura requests Hibiki’s father to forge him a powerful sword. The labor puts a strain on her father and he soon becomes gravely ill, but before he dies he requests Hibiki to seek out the man and sword — thus leading to the events of her story in The Last Blade 2.

Hibiki’s addition to Samurai Showdown will no doubt please fans of The Last Blade, but this isn’t the first time the character has made herself appear outside of that series. She was also one of the chosen fighters to represent the SNK roster for Capcom Vs SNK 2, and her sword skills and moves made the transition to that game as well. Time will tell just how much her presence will affect the Samurai Showdown crowd once she gets released on April 28!

Hibiki was revealed with Cham Cham with the Season 3 Pass teaser a few months back. Let’s see who the other two characters will be soon!

Samurai Shodown is available for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and PC now, with an Xbox Series X|S version coming later this year.
