Taking place in the 16th century, SoulCalibur VI revisits the events of the original title with the opportunity to uncover a multitude of hidden truths.

SoulCalibur VI will include a whole host of new and old characters including firm favourites, Mitsurugi and Sophitia.
“The fast and kinetic gameplay of SoulCalibur is on full display in SoulCalibur VI” said Mark Religioso, Brand Manager for BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “A stellar lineup of characters and weapons, combined with a simple control layout means gamers of all skill levels can jump into the action and decimate the competition.”
