What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is fun to play now, so why not let the community play and have fun while we are making it?”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It will likely be in Early Access until the end of 2027. Could be longer depending on how much we can think of to add to the game.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“More Characters, More stages, More versus modes. Less bugs. Check out the roadmap below.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We relaunched with a completely new version of the game (written again from scratch in our own custom game engine) in February 2026. There are currently 6 playable characters, Ranked and Casual online matchmaking, local versus play, and a basic practice mode. We have removed Adventure mode from the game and will be repurposing assets and stages into upcoming versus modes. The comic will be added back into the new version in a forthcoming update.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We don't have a definitive plan here yet, but it is likely that the price will increase after the Early Access period.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Join our Discord! We've had community members contribute suggestions, request features, and help test beta versions of the updates. We're on Discord pretty much every day talking with the community.”

About This Game

Samurai GUNN 2 is a fighting game for people who love fast, twitchy action games.

We devoted 3 years to rebuilding Samurai GUNN 2 from scratch in our own custom engine to ensure the online matches are fast and reliable, and to make it easy for us to support for years to come. With this solid foundation in place, you can look forward to regular updates with new characters, new stages, new modes, and various other improvements.

LOCAL AND ONLINE

Face off against friends on the couch, or play online in 1v1 and Free-for-All battles. Enjoy reliable rollback netcode in Ranked and Casual Matchmaking. You can even set up a private lobby to hang out and play with your friends.

CHARACTERS

HAYAO is the best character to start with. He is by far the fastest character in the game, and in Samurai GUNN 2, that makes him one of the strongest.

OTOMO shoots fireballs that can trap opponents (and herself if you’re not careful!). She can slash through her fire traps to gain an incredible boost of speed for a limited time.

GOLEM can create destructible stone blocks with his bullets. He can even create statues that can obstruct, frustrate, and crush opponents.

POPS is slow and strong–very dangerous in close quarters. He can dash-grab opponents and send them flying to their explosive deaths. He can even dash-grab their bullets and return-to-sender. His bullets explode on impact and the splash damage can kill through walls.

GHOST has an echo float ability that makes her unpredictable in air combat. Pay close attention because her bullets are invisible, She can temporarily turn invisible as well when she dashes. Chain together successive kills to remain invisible and terrify your opponents.

SLUG is the choice for high IQ players. So many tricks–he can stick to walls and run on the ceiling. He shoots kunai instead of bullets that he (or his opponents!) can retrieve and re-fire. He can tilt the kunai in unpredictable directions. He’s kind of slow, but he has a fast-fall mixup to catch opponents off-guard. Try him once you’ve mastered the basics.
