Soulcalibur is back and its bringing a couple of familiar faces with it. The storied fighting game is onto its sixth installment with Soulcalibur VI and Nightmare, Kilik and Xianghua look ready to kick some ass. 

The game was first announced in December at the 2017 Game Awards. That announcement trailer gave us a quick glimpse at Sophitia and Mitsurugi, but little else. Now, Bandai Namco have dropped a new trailer and revealed four more characters in the process. 

You’ll surely recognize Nightmare, Kilik and Xianghua, three pillars of the Soulcalibur saga, but there’s a fourth face that is totally new to the game. Grøh, “The Agent In Black,” is sporting some pretty cool weaponry and a rather emo outfit. His Darth Maul-esque double saber looks like it can deal some pretty heavy damage and might have some decent range too.

Nightmare and Xianghua are both Soulcalibur originals and they look pretty much the same as usual. Nightmare shows off his brute strength in the trailer, while Xianghua’s finesse is on full display. 

Then there’s Kilik. The fan-favorite with enough range to infuriate any opponent. The end of the trailer teases something entirely new for him.  He appears to become overcome by Soul Edge or Inferno, at which point Kali-Yuga turns into a crazy doubled-sided energy spear and Kilik grows long hair. Needless to say, expect him to play a major role in Soulcalibur VI.

Soulcalibur VI is scheduled for release sometime in 2018. In the meantime, we’re likely to see more and more of the game as the various major conventions and conferences come and go. The game will be playable at EVO Japan this week and expect a release date announcement sooner rather than later.
