SoulCalibur VI's main goal from the storytelling perspective is showing how classic characters like Taki, Siegfried, Ivy, Zasalamel, Sophitia, Mitsurugi, Nightmare, Xianghua and Kilik first met and how the fates of others are destined for greater things in the bigger
SoulCalibur universe as The Soul Edge, a legendary demonic sword and ultimate devourer of souls is more powerful than ever before.
IGN had a chance to record an extended gameplay from
SoulCalibur VI at the ongoing E3 2018. Their footage features Geralt of Rivia, the main hero known from CD Projekt Red's
The Witcher series and Sapkowski's novels. Bandai is putting a lot of effort into making his appearance more than just a brief cameo, introducing a new map - Kaer Morhen built from scratch using Unreal Engine 4, and using
Hunt or be Hunted song from
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt which serves as Geralt's theme in
SoulCalibur VI.
The VG247 crew also captured a 4K gameplay of the punters at E3 battling each other. Take a look:
SOULCALIBUR VI represents the latest entry in the premier weapons-based, head-to-head fighting series and continues the epic struggle of warriors searching for the legendary Soul Swords. Taking place in the 16th century, revisit the events of the original SOULCALIBUR to uncover hidden truths.
SoulCalibur VI is set to launch worldwide on October 19, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
