For Honor's Game Director, Nicolas Bombray, and Associate Art Director, Andrew Im, both were featured in a director's message video for this announcement.Strictly in Samurai Shodown (2019), he is the first guest character to be added. In the series of Samurai Shodown, Warden is the 4th guest character to be added to the game and the first guest character to originate from a non-Japanese game.Check out the Warden's dedicated page on the SNK wiki here or this wiki's dedicated page for the game. On June 23rd, 2020 at New Game+ Expo (NGPX) 2020, Warden was announced by SNK Corporation as the 9th DLC character for their weapon-based fighting game Samurai Shodown (2019), added the day after on June 24th.In historical comparison, the armor design for the Warden resembles early 14th century armor.Similarly, their top guard stance derives from the Schlüssel stance, from which the wielder can efficiently deploy classic strikes like the Krohn or Einhorn strike.The Warden's side guard stances are inspired from the Pflug stance, a staple of basic medieval swordsmanship dating back to master Liechtenauer of the 1380s.Such helmets include the visored barbuta, the great helm, and the visored sugarloaf.
