Soulcalibur VI Gamescom 2018 Trailer, Second Story Mode and Tira Confirmed

Bandai Namco released new trailers, screenshots, and even confirmed another character for Soulcalibur VI at this years Gamescom.

Featured above, a new trailer was shown off for the game, introducing the second story mode, the Libra of Soul. Here’s a rundown on that new mode:

Libra Of Soul is the second story mode in Soulcalibur VI, joining the already-revealed Chronicle of Souls mode. In this game mode, players will be able to create their own custom fighter from scratch before roaming the world in a quest to stop a new evil mastermind at work to gather Soul Edge shards. Along the way, players will come up against both characters from across the main storyline, and warriors created by the community, fighting in a variety of rule-specific showdowns which shape their own path.

Players will be able to customize their unique characters through thousands of different combinations, choosing from 16 races, including human, lizard or even living skeleton, before customizing the size, facial features, hairstyle, clothes, armor and, of course. weapons and fighting style!

Next, the Bird of Death, Tira, is confirmed as a playable character. She’ll be sold as standalone downloadable content, as well as a bonus to those who purchase the game’s Season Pass.


Here’s a trailer and a blurb on her return:

Tira, an expert wielder of her Ring Blade named Eiserne Drossel, fights using her own Dance of Death style. Trained by the mysterious Birds of Passage group of assassins, Tira abandoned the group after its leader went mad. Alone and angry, Tira, travels across the world, slaughtering any that get in her way – taking great pleasure in the trail of blood in her wake.

Here’s some new screenshots and artwork for Tira:

Also revealed today is the game’s online play component, which allows players to fight using custom characters, or fan-favorite characters from the game – in both casual or ranked matches.
