Soul Calibur VI arrives on PS4 in 2018

More than 20 years ago, the fate of players around the world was sealed as they searched for the Legendary Swords. Now, SoulCalibur is back with the 6th installment of the series, returning to its roots with an updated gameplay and presentation!

Watch our launch trailer above and discover the first two characters of the roster.

TITLE

As you’ve just seen, legendary warriors Heishiro Mitsurugi from Japan and Sophitia Alexandra from Greece, who first appeared in Soul Edge back in 1995, are back for SoulCalibur VI. Mitsurugi’s katana and Sophitia’s short sword and small shield clash in an epic duel in our announcement trailer. They’ll join the cast of characters which we’ll reveal through the upcoming months, compromised on of both new and returning fighters.

SoulCalibur VI retains its 3D weapon-based fighting roots. The 8-Way Run movement system returns, allowing for smooth 3D movement, while adding in new gameplay systems including the new Reversal Edge. Reversal Edge allows characters to clash against each other and follow-up with a powerful counterattack based on their opponent’s actions. We’ll have much more to say about gameplay mechanics soon in the future!
