Namco Bandai has officially lifted the wraps off Soul Calibur V at its recent Level Up press conference in Dubai, confirming the brawler will launch in 2012.
According to info trickling out of the shindig, the game serves as a direct continuation of the storyline established in Soul Calibur IV, and stars Sophitia’s son Patroklos in the lead role.
Not much else is known at this point, but producer Hisaharu Tago – complete with toy sword in hand – took to the stage to confirm the game is set 17 years after its predecessor, and boasts an improved battle system and other fresh features.
More info is expected to drop within the coming weeks, so stay for further updates.
