Bandai Namco has released a set of screenshots for Soulcalibur VI featuring Mitsurugi Heishiro and Sophitia Alexandra.
Here is an overview of the game:
Sharpen your swords, put on your armor, and get ready to fight. Soulcalibur, the game that defined weapon-based 3D fighting games, is back!
Two decades after its first iteration, Soulcalibur VI returns to its roots while bringing brand-new gameplay features to the fight. Travel through the signature 16th century stages and experience the struggle for the two legendary swords using a complete roster of returning Soulcalibur characters, along with some newcomers!
Soulcalibur has never looked more dynamic or dramatic, intensified with eye-popping graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4.
Key Features:
- Dynamic fights enhanced by cinematic-styled combat.
- State of the art graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4.
- An epic story mode of the struggle for the two swords.
- A complete roster of returning characters and newcomers.
Revamped Gameplay Mechanics for the Intense Showdowns:
- The Supreme Defense: Reversal Edge – Read the opponent’s move and deliver a counterattack while guarding, and take control of the battle by quickly proceeding into derivative moves.
- The Supreme Attack: Critical Edge – A trademark of each character capable of delivering damage to his opponent.
- A Chance to Turn the Tables: Soul Charge – A temporary power-up taking place after pushing away the opponent with a shockwave.
- Proof of Proficiency: Lethal Hit – A special effect which destroys your opponent’s equipment parts when fulfilling set conditions of a move.
SoulCalibur VI will launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC via Steam in 2018.

The only SC game I have is SC2 on Gamecube. I never had SC3, 4, 5. They are probably really good games but I'm not usually into fighting games (Unless it's SSB).
But...
If SC6 came out on switch, and it had Link. I'll buy it :D
I miss SC2 on GC and I wouldn't mind a SC2 HD (with Link). Or SC6 with Link could be even better (Which is a bigger possibility now that switch sales have took off and with Zelda: BOTW winning GOTY 2017). The Zelda IP has had a giant boom of attention since BOTW/Switch got released, I'm sure bandainamco would understand that it would be a good business move too.
Since Harada decided to ruin his licences with dlc crap, I guess SC will follow the same path... So sad :(
Not into fighting games anymore, but I hope it turns out well.
