Bandai Namco Entertainment have released a launch trailer, and confirmed the release date for the upcoming Haohmaru DLC for Soulcalibur VI.
Samurai Shodown’s poster-child Haohmaru was announced back in August 2019, with the first gameplay trailer revealed at the Evolution Championship Series (EVO) Japan 2020.
The character also brings his own stage, background music, and pieces for character creation (highly resembling fellow Samurai Shodown character Nakoruru).
As the ninth piece of DLC, it will also launch alongside DLC 10, containing Character Creation Set D. You can find images from DLC 10 via the Japanese website here.
Other guest and DLC characters include Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series, and 2B from Nier: Automata. In addition, the game’s character creation options have allowed players to create a wide variety of characters that highly resemble those from other media.
You can find the DLC launch trailer below.
The Haohmaru character DLC will be available March 31st, and is also available via the Season Pass.
