Let's see what we can figure out about the story in this game so-far. I see two major items from which to draw conclusions:
#1: Image of Dampierre (Link, because the image is huge and you've already seen it.)
What can we infer from this? His emblem has a lot to it. Card suits, a frog crown, a skull (pirate?), and a mustache on the frog just like his mustache. Does the frog represent him? Is he a pirate leader? Rival to Cervantes?
#2: New fused version of Soul Edge and Soul Calibur, visible on the banner in the background of this interview. (I haven't seen a clean image of it anywhere else.)
I infer from this that one way or another, Soul Edge and Soul Calibur were brought together, which awakened Algol as described in his profile (and canonizes his appearance as a boss). He was defeated, and the entities that are Soul Edge/Soul Calibur/Nightmare/Siegfried/Algol are all tied up inside of it, until known otherwise. Siegfried is shown in new promotional stills to promote "Broken Destiny," but that doesn't guarantee his survival in the storyline, because this new sword might not appear until later in the new story mode.
Of course, if I can step outside of the story: they'll never be rid of Siegfried and Nightmare. They're too cool.
