Bandai Namco's iconic sword fighting series
SoulCalibur is making its long awaited comeback as
SoulCalibur VI releases in only a few more days.
Although being the sixth entry in the main series,
SoulCalibur VI is actually a prequel that seeks to rewrite the new stage of history. The game will be revisiting the events of the original
SoulCalibur game by following the events of
Soul Edge, the very first game in the series.
Story-wise,
SoulCalibur VI will be creating a new timeline, so the game comes off as a little bit of a reboot for the series. What will not be rebooted, however, is the series' gameplay, which has been pretty much perfected in every iteration. Most longtime fans of the series will feel right at home playing
SoulCalibur VI, but newcomers may want to learn a few basics before picking up the controller.
Today, Bandai Namco has released a brand new video introducing players to the basics of combat in
SoulCalibur VI, featuring Global Business Development Manager for Gaming at EVO, Mark Julio.
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 will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on the 19th of October.
