SNK is hiring staff to work on a Samurai Shodown action RPG

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, the news of SNK venturing into the realm of Samurai Shodown action RPG has me buzzing like a warrior’s sword sharpened to perfection! The sheer variety of job openings listed on their webpage suggests we’re in for something truly spectacular.


In simple terms, SNK announced that they’ll be developing a fresh action RPG based on the “Samurai Shodown” series. Additionally, they’ve launched a new website where they’re seeking to hire new team members for this upcoming project.

A total of 12 job positions are listed on the webpage. The openings are as follows:

  1. Motion Artist
  2. Model Artist
  3. Effect Artist
  4. 2D Character Artist
  5. 2D Background Artist
  6. Background Model Artist
  7. UI (User Interface) Artist
  8. TA (Technical) Artist
  9. Programmer
  10. Sound Director
  11. Level & Scenario Planner
  12. Battle Planner

The majority of positions listed are quite clear-cut, but it’s worth noting that the Programmer role involves creating a game using Unreal Engine 5. Despite primarily focusing on 3D Computer Graphics, the company is still seeking 2D artists to contribute in areas like concept art and character design.

To clarify, many installments in the Samurai Shodown series (previously known as Samurai Spirits in Japan) are one-on-one combat games. The first game came out in 1993, while SNK launched the latest version, which was simply called “Samurai Shodown” without any numbers or subtitles for both PC and gaming consoles, in 2019.

As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in video games since I was a child, I can confidently say that the release of new spin-offs within my favorite franchises is always an exciting event for me. However, it’s not every day that I come across one that actually surpasses its predecessor, especially when we’re talking about a classic RPG spinoff like Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits: Bushido Retsuden.
