Namco Bandai has formally announced the otherwise totally inevitable existence of Soul Calibur V, a “true sequel” (so NOT a false sequel, like all those other false sequels) for Xbox and PS3.<\/p>\n

“Soul Calibur V is set to advance the series’ legacy of white-knuckled weapon-based combat, beautiful graphics and ground-breaking features, entrancing newcomers and long-time fans alike,” says the PR stuff.<\/p>\n

The game apparently picks up the, uh, “story” 17 years after the events of Soul Calibur IV, and features a roster of old and new characters.<\/p>\n

“The tale of Patroklos, son of Sophitia Alexandra, unfolds as his family’s destiny intertwines with the Soul swords. With the series revolutionary 8-way run, allowing for true 3D movement during matches, a refined battle system, and stunning graphics, Soul Calibur V will be the top game of 2012 for anyone looking for a knock-down, drag-out fight.”<\/p>\n

Talking to CVG<\/a>, Namco’s UK marketing guy Lee Kirton promised that the company would be showing off the game at E3 in June.<\/p>\n

“There are some secrets waiting to be revealed on Soul Calibur V that I can’t go into at the moment. It’s very exciting and will stand out from the other fighters,” he said. “Soul Calibur has always remained unique in its playing style and fans will be incredibly impressed.”<\/p>\n
