Soulcalibur VI Revisits The Story/Era Of The First Game

Bandai Namco revealed Soulcalibur VI during The Game Awards 2017, now we know a little bit more about the game. Soulcalibur VI will "revisit the events of the original Soulcalibur to uncover hidden truths with a diverse lineup of new and returning characters," Bandai Namco said. This seemed pretty obvious from the game's initial trailer, which showed a young Mitsurugi fighting against an equally young Sophitia and what appeared to be a quick montage of the story playing backward. The game once again has the 8-way movement system that Soulcalibur is know for, as well as a new gameplay system called Reversal Edge which enables characters to clash against each other and follow-up with counterattacks based on their opponent's actions, like a super that focuses on reading your opponent. Soulcalibur VI is scheduled for release in 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
