80 SoulCalibur VI

Release date: tbd

The 3D weapon-based fantasy fighting series will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2018 with its sixth numbered installment, due later this year for PS4, XB1, and PC. Fittingly, the new game (the first since 2012's SoulCalibur V) will return to the franchise's roots by revisiting the 16th century events of the original SoulCalibur. The game will feature returning and new characters, and like Bandai Namco's recent Tekken 7, will run on Unreal Engine 4. An "epic" story mode will be joined by various multiplayer modes.
