Samurai Shodown Reveals Free Crossover DLC Character Gongsun Li

SNK certainly seems to be picking new Samurai Shodown characters from rather peculiar sources, and today a brand new one has been announced.

The new character is Gongsun Li and she comes straight from the mobile game Honor of Kings by Tencent. 

She is voice by Kana Ichinose, that Final Fantasy XIV fans may know as Ryne from the latest expansion Shadowbringers.

The good news is that she’s going to be completely free, and she’s releasing on August 8 on all platforms. 

Below you can enjoy a trailer and a few screenshots from the press release.

Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
