A new trailer for upcoming sixth entry in the 3D, weapons-based fighting game Soul Calibur VI has been released by Bandai Namco.

The new trailer introduces brand-new character Groh, the agent in black, and reintroduces us to returning characters Nightmare, Kilik, and Xianghua.

Soul Calibur VI was first revealed at the 2017 Game Awards and is said to be a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the series. The previous game in the series, Soul Calibur V, released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America on January 31, 2012; in Japan on February 2, 2012; and in Europe on February 3, 2012. The game featured Ezio Auditore from the Assassin's Creed video game series and was well received by critics. Despite positive reception, many fans found it to be lackluster when compared to previous entries, and criticized the story mode and exclusion of fan favorite characters.

Soul Calibur VI will release for PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and PC in 2018.
