Yeah, four years isn't nearly as big as seventeen. Though, if Soul Blade is getting covered too then it's still substantial as a total of seven years pass.

I wonder about the story. I imagine that if really minor characters like Rock, Arthur, Hwang, and Li Long are in, they might be used as casualties to establish the stakes of the story. I can just imagine the heads thinking "No one will care if this character dies". Anyone else suspects this?

I thought Cervantes defeated Li Long before Sophitia & Taki defeated him before Siegfried becomes Nightmare.

Go to Bandai Namco's website. SC6 is front and center, and takes up the whole screen!

Even Tekken 7 is pushed aside. Makes me proud to be a SC fan

Namco is caring about Soul Calibur for once and not rushing it out for the console version of the next Tekken game. The real reason Noctis was revealed in T7 was to tell everyone that SCVI is being announced soon. Now the game is officialy announced by Namco at The Game Awards last night. The new producer did produce Tekken 7. SCVI will be better than the last few games especially the trainwreck that was known as Lost Swords.
 
Yeah, but with the whole altered timeline thing I can see there being deaths to raise the stakes. Thing is, there's no way they're killing any of the icons off, so they'll use the lesser-knowns for that.

Nothing really mindblowing here tbh. Soul Calibur 6 is the NEW HOT SH*T Game at the moment. They already made the money with T7, the opposite situation would have been weird and scary.

There was a real lack of real 3D fighters those last years. So happy to see SC back in the map

If its a reboot then I hope they work onto giving us the nostalgia hype with it as well, it would not only help market the game's attention more, but it would draw more appreciation to it. I hope for a Weapon Master mode in addition to the main story. Gameplay-wise though what I am worried about is if they are using Lost Swords as their base because, there is a frame where Mitsurugi activated something that gave his sword that red lightning effect that, reminds me a lot of it... which I am not too happy with.

I also got that impression at a glance and didn't like it but I think its different more fluid like that's why it might've come out looking like that. not to mention all of those colors coming off the weapons. That's been put to rest after I saw that additional 15 sec video one of the guys posted.

SCVI isn't a bunch of SCV stage assets to make a game with super simplfied gameplay.

Namco said Soul Calibur returned to it's roots.

Tekken 7 met its 2 Million sales goal before SFV in less than six months.

Wait, why is Mina there? She was an OG female for the series alongside Sophitia and Taki, so she's probably on the safe end.

Cause of popularity wise, i dunno how she's popular at least. But in the end if they really plan to tell Story of all Past SC, she'll probably make it as well.

Speaking about Story, i really hope to see a lot of interactions and dialogues between Characters, and hope not just few characters will get most of the screentime while others got neglected for whatever reasons, i mean just don't give me something like in T7 story, instead something more like last MK, Injustice and even SFV would be way better.

SFV sales really got damage because of the lack of single player modes at day one, but personally i still think it's a great and very solid game, and probably has the best post launch support of all time in Fighting Game genre. (there is a reason on why it's the most played fighting game since its release.)

T7 not only made money with the 2 millions copies, but also game was milk in Arcade since 3 years.

I'm curious if this gonna be a multi-level stage:

If you break the fence, you'll get to the ice cavern and the fight will continue.

My dream is to get the remastered Rock stage from Soul Edge, with high grass, and maybe some stage with serious rain.

Also, I want to say hi to you all:sc1kil1:
 
If they go back in time... Why won't they go back all the way to Soul Edge? Would love it as well.

So curious to get more infos what the hell is going on
 
While they didn't say visit Soul CaliburS I still think the revisit aspect will be generalized, as in, I really think it might visit different time periods in the series and each period will have their own set of characters, I did imagine a roster of about 30, 25 legacy, 5 new ones + guest character

So, if I had to guess.

From SC/SE
Sophitia, Mitsurugi, Siegfried/Nightmare, Ivy, Astaroth/Rock, Cervantes, Voldo, Taki, Kilik, Xian and Maxi (Maybe Mina)
From SCII
Cassandra, Raphael/Amy, Talim and Yun
From SCIII/IV
Setsuka, Tira, Hilde, Zas, Dampierre, and maybe Algol cuz they have a hard on him
SC V
I don't think it will get much representation tbh
Maybe the Z.W.E.I
 
It's so nice we are getting actual news and info to discuss now!! :)

and speaking of learning from mistakes, I hope they don't just learn from V's mistakes, but also from other recent franchise mistakes. cough....SFV....cough.

Don't skimp on single player modes. Give us a proper Arcade mode where EVERY characters gets a story intro/ending. etc.
