When a Reversal Edge hits, you can enjoy a powerful production like a scene from an action movie highlighted by a dynamic camera.
Bandai Namco has released part one in a new documentary series called “Souls and Swords: The Rise of Soulcalibur,” which details the emergence of the Soulcalibur series.
The Soulcalibur series began in 1995 with the release of Soul Edge in Japanese arcades. In 1998, the first Soulcalibur followed. The fighting game series is known for its weapons-based gameplay.
The latest entry in the series, Soulcalibur VI, is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 19.
Soul series central antagonist Inferno will be a playable character in Soulcalibur VI, Bandai Namco announced.
Here is an overview of the character, via Bandai Namco Europe:
Inferno is the embodiment of Soul Edge’s will, an evil amalgamation of all the warriors’ souls it has claimed. Its motives for being are unknown. Some say it simply follows a desire to fight, maim, and gather souls. The eerie fire that surrounds Inferno is the result of the many souls the sword has reaped being burned to sustain it.
Harvested from the souls it has collected, Inferno possesses a deep knowledge of all fighting techniques – allowing it to use any weapon style with a phenomenal degree of skill.
Though its power defies standard means of measurement – it easily transcends that of any of its previous vessels. Although Inferno’s look changes with every incarnation, rest assured that it is stronger and more brutal than ever!
Soulcalibur VI is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 19.
Bandai Namco has released a new trailer and screenshots for Soulcalibur VI featuring returning playable character Raphael.
Here is an overview of Raphael, via Bandai Namco:
As a master of the rapier, his fighting style is that of a fencer, delivering deadly blow to opponents through powerful thrusts and slashes. Processing great speed and agility, Raphael is at once difficult to hit and defend against. Yet his life has taken many twists and turns, from noble family member to living as a vagabond in Spain. Where ever he ends up, more about Raphael will be revealed in Soulcalibur VI when the game launches.

Bandai Namco has released a new set of trailers for Soulcalibur VI introducing returning playable character Cervantes and the game’s various modes.
Here is an overview of Cervantes, via Bandai Namco:
When Cervantes first gripped Soul Edge, the power of the cursed sword transformed him into a monster. He used the sword to bring a reign of terror and carnage to the world, as the sword continued to manipulated his mind. But soon the cursed sword’s plans were thwarted by a heroic ninja and a brave warrior. Cervantes was defeated, consumed by fire and sentenced to the depths of hell, his body turned to ash.
Later the now new owner of the Soul Edge, Nightmare comes across Cervantes’s remains, but left without noticing the small glimmer of light emitting from his body. The Soul Edge had once again set the terrible wheels of fate moving and brought Cervantes back from the dead. After his resurrection, Cervantes now walks grinning through a sea of corpses, claiming countless souls and leaving desolation and destruction in his wake. His final aim is clear: to once again to make Soul Edge his own.
Cervantes fights with two weapons, Acheron and Nirvana. His main sword, Acheron, has been his sword since he plundered it from its hapless former owner during his reign of dread across the Atlantic Ocean. His secondary weapon, Nirvana, is a dagger with a pistol in the hilt. While pistols of the time were still relatively primitive, shooting an opponent could break their guard, allowing for a fierce follow-up blow. The gun dagger was a gift from the Italian weapons dealer Vercci and symbolises the twisted connection between the feared pirate and the Merchant of Death.
The latter trailer introduces Arcade, Versus, and Training modes, “Soul Chronicle” story mode, “Libra of Soul” mission mode, character creation, online play, and the Museum.
