SNK Global decided to delay the Samurai Shodown rollback netcode update for a second time. The decision has been made to ensure that the update reaches the appropriate levels of quality. The netcode update was already delayed once to September 2023. A third community beta test will be held sometime in October 2023, after which a new release window will be established. More information about the new test will be given at a later date.
The first rollback netcode community beta test for the game was held back in February 2023. However, the update was delayed to Summer 2023, and a second test was held between June 13-20, 2023. After the last test, the release window was set for September 2023.
