BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. returns to the stage of history with SOULCALIBURVI for the PlayStation4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, and STEAM for PC. Enter into a new chapter of weapons-based 1 vs 1 fighting with returning fan-favorite characters and all-new gameplay systems.

The SOULCALIBUR franchise has been the premier 3D weapon-based fighting series since the original SOUL BLADE released in arcades in 1995. SOULCALIBUR VI retains the series' signature 8-Way Run movement system, providing super smooth 3D movement, while integrating new gameplay systems such as the exciting Reversal Edge. Reversal Edge enables characters to clash against each other and follow-up with powerful counterattacks based on their opponent's actions. Challenge the computer AI, compete against friends, or challenge fighters from around the world in high-speed dynamic battles with jaw-dropping visual effects.


Taking place in the 16th century, revisit the events of the original SOULCALIBUR to uncover hidden truths with a diverse lineup of new and returning characters with their unique fighting styles including series mainstays; 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."

SOULCALIBUR VI will release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and STEAM in 2018. For more information about SOULCALIBUR VI or other titles from BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. please visit; https://www.bandainamcoent.com

Used to be my favorite series of fighting games but 4 and 5 dropped the ball, I hope they can go back to being good.

All they have to do is just remaster SCII and done. Especially if they bring the arcade conquest feature from II that most people outside of arcades didn't get to play. Just forget that III-V ever happened.

All games should be on as many platforms as possible. The consoles going with PC hardware was the best thing for the gaming industry.
