The first main story is centered around the character of Kilik as he ventures out to confront the Soul Edge and Nightmare and takes place mostly in Europe. In this mode, the story is told similar to a visual novel with illustrated, voiced cut scenes telling the plot and are broken up by matches acting as significant battles in-story. The Soul Chronicle is the main plot of the story, concerning the main characters and the immediate threat of Nightmare. In addition, the story is divided into two separate modes. The plot of Soulcalibur VI begins from a remake of the second Soul game entry, taking place from 1583 to 1589, long before the events of 1590 trilogy games. It takes place after the events of Soulcalibur V (which is during the Soul Chronicles of Cassandra, Amy and Zasalamel's stories) where Cassandra from the original timeline tells her past self about the grim future of the Alexandra family, Amy's original future-self is revealed to be Viola, and Zasalamel receives a vision from his future self that causes him to abandon his plan to seek death and decide to lead humanity to a brighter future. Soulcalibur VI serves as a sequel and a reboot to the series, taking place during the 16th century to revisit the events of the first Soulcalibur game/second Soul series game entry to "uncover hidden truths". ^1 2 Number denotes the season in which the character was added as DLC Plot ^a Guest character DLC guests are not part of the game's storyline The Reversal Edge allows players to defend against an oncoming attack and quickly strike back, alongside a slow-motion effect, enabling more defensive options for the players. The game kept many of the familiar gameplay elements including 8-Way Run, Guard Impact, and character creation, but adds to the traditional formula by introducing new mechanics such as Reversal Edge and the newly revamped Soul Charge. It is the seventh main installment in the Soulcalibur series.įollowing the tradition of prior installments of the Soulcalibur series, Soulcalibur VI 's gameplay involves two weapons-wielding combatants battling against one another using a 3D system.

Get ready to take up Haohmaru’s sword as he joins the Soul Calibur 6 cast at the end of this month, and perhaps prepare to see more of him when Soul Calibur 6 joins the mainstage during the (currently still scheduled) EVO 2020.Cover art featuring Mitsurugi and Geralt of Rivia Simply put, despite the transfer to 3D space, Haohmaru looks like he’s going to satisfy fans of his original Samurai Showdown style. What’s more interesting is that we’ve seen Haohmaru’s Soul Calibur 6 gameplay showcase many of his trademark attacks, such as the Senpuu Retsu Zan tornado projectile and the Kogetsu Zan full moon uppercut. He joins Geese Howard and Akuma, who similarly transferred to 3D in Tekken 7. Haohmaru’s translation over to 3D fighting for the first time ever is interesting to say the least. The trailer ends with a launch date for Haohmaru in Soul Calibur 6 of March 31, 2020. We’ve gotten quite a few looks showcasing Haohmaru’s fighting style as it translates from the 2D (and recently 2.5D) space of Samurai Shodown over to the 3D arenas of the Soul Calibur franchise, but the latest look at Haohmaru shows off even more of his new tactics, including what looks like a heal from drinking out of his gourd following a throw and some very quick, stiff slashes to try to catch your opponent off guard. We finally have a date for when Haohmaru will be arriving in Soul Calibur 6 alongside a fresh new launch trailer.īandai Namco put out the launch trailer and date for Haohmaru in Soul Calibur 6 on the Bandai Namco YouTube channel on March 26, 2020. Soul Calibur 6 already brought over Nier Automata’s 2B, and now Samurai Shodown’s Haohmaru is set to follow, bringing tornados, full moon uppercuts, and his undaunted pride as a warrior to the SC6 roster. Namco certainly knows how to bring good guest characters to its game.
