During last year's EVO event, Bandai Namco surprised fans of fighting games by revealing that they were teaming up with SNK to have Haohmaru, from the
Samurai Shodown series,
joining the roster in SoulCalibur VI as part of the game's Season 2.
Season 2 of
SoulCalibur VI is adding a new fighting system and brand-new characters, two of which have already been revealed(Hilde and Haohmaru). While we didn't get to see a gampeplay trailer for Haohmaru, the news was already enough incentive for players to go ahead and purchase this new season.
Bandai Namco has had quite a bunch of characters from other series showin up as guest fighters in the
SoulCalibur series, but Haohmaru is one of those characters that almost makes us wonder what took them so long to add; most definitely a perfect fit for the new game, as well as the series as a whole.
Today, Bandai Namco has finally given us a proper character trailer that introduces
Samurai Shodown's Haohmaru to the stage of history in
SoulCalibur VI; giving us a good look ast some of Haohmaru's iconic moves, which have been faithfully recreated by the developers at Bandai Namco.
