Following the great inclusion of Geralt of Rivia, Nier Automata's 2B is the next guest character heading to make an impression in SoulCalibur VI.

Can SoulCalibur 6 rise to the occasion? According to critics, the series is better than ever and its new gameplay mechanics are absolute godsends, to the point where they even cover up some of the rougher aspects of the fine sequel.

The art of sword fighting has always been intimately connected with nobility and Raphael fully embodies a noble warrior spirit in SOULCALIBUR VI!

Bandai Namco might be ready to throw in the towel on Soulcalibur 6 if it flops in October, as the publisher is just about ready to give up on the tale of swords and gravity-defying cleavage.

Bandai Namco’s weapon-based face-puncher of a series has always gone its own way through each successive iteration. Throwing in extra modes, stories and ideas into the mix, multiplayer action and tournament leagues have always played second fiddle to the core idea of making a game that is fun to play. Don’t expect that focus to change in the upcoming sixth chapter of the series.

It just wouldn’t be SoulCalibur without a certain other warrior though. A character whose signature look is always in flux, weird and just downright goofy at times, albeit from another fighting game franchise that Bandai Namco owns. I’m talking about Tekken’s Yoshimitsu of course. Here he is, in all his magnificently odd glory.

A franchise OG who has been kicking around since the very first game, Taki is to Soulcalibur what Ryu’s bastard Hadoukens are to Street Fighter. In case you were scared that Taki was going to sit out on the latest instalment of Soulcalibur, fret not! A a trailer leak from NicoNico in Japan via Japanese fighting game fanatics AvoidingThePuddle has confirmed that she’ll be popping a few kunai into backsides later this year.

Full of regret, Siegfried is looking for redemption as he desperately fights to free himself from the cursed sword’s grasp in Soulcalibur 6.
