To give you a preview if you haven't seen the trailers released yet, watch the video below.
Plot
The game takes place during the 17th century, 17 years after the events of Soulcalibur IV, with Nightmare's death by the hands of Siegfried. The main protagonist is Patroklos and the deuteragonist is Pyrrha, son and daughter of Sophitia and Rothion Alexander and nephew and niece of Cassandra Alexandra.
Although no official storyline for the game has been released so far, Patroklos' storyline says that Pyrrha and Patroklos haven't had an easy childhood as their mother, Sophitia, was killed by a "malfested" and their father died an untimely death from a disease. Pyrrha was abducted at a young age and remembers nothing of her childhood, including her family ties. Her brother Patroklos, on the other hand, was raised by himself and is now searching his older sister. He also searches and destroys the malfested.
The gameplay and game modes seems to be the same as the last Soul Calibur installment, but what makes the game new are the new set of playable characters. Of course few of the old ones left already, including my TALIM which is in fact from the Village of the Wind Deity or in present day, the Philippines. I have loved her ever since for being a Filipina game character. Though some left, more are formed to be a playable character in the game. Here are the new characters.
Patroklos Alexander (Heir To The Title of Holy Warrior) - Son of Sophitia which is the main protagonist in the story.
*here is the alternate version of Patroklos with a different moveset from the original playable character
Pyrrha Alexandra (She Who Fights Destiny)- Daughter of Sophitia and the sister of Patroklos, she is the deuteragonist in the story.
*Pyrrha's alternate character of the same name wielding a soul edge
Elysium - an angelic woman who resembles the mother of the two characters above, Sophitia.
Leixia (A Young Lady Longing for an Adventure) - The daughter of Xianghua who uses almost the same style of fighting as her mother.
Natsu (Worthy Successor) - A disciple of a Soul series veteran, Taki.
Viola - an elegant and mysterious looking woman who bears a resemblance with Amy.
Xiba (Honest Young Man) - As the picture shows, he loves eating and he is a successor of Kilik.
Z.W.E.I. (A New Swordsman) - a dark and brooding man who uses a sword with three handles and can summon a werewolf-like creature called E.I.N.
After seeing the new character who wouldn't be excited to buy and play the game. Being a fan of the Soul series myself, I can't wait to play this new and another saga that will unfold soon - SOONER like its going to be released hours after I published this blog post. And just like what the game director tweeted, i'll say that "SC is back!"
