'SoulCalibur VI' (ALL) Gets NieR: Automata's 2B DLC Next Week

by Rainier on Dec. 13, 2018 @ 5:19 p.m. PST

NieR: Automata is a third-person action role-playing game in which the human race is driven from the Earth and takes refuge on the moon. An army of androids is sent into the fray, and the war soon unveils the dark truth about the world.

SoulCalibur VI has never looked more dynamic or intense with eye popping graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4. Travel through signature 16th century stages and experience the struggle for the two legendary swords using a roster of returning characters along with newcomers!

Gameplay has been revamped with the all new Reversal Edge feature allowing players to take balance between attack and defence. Once activated, players can defend against the opponents attack and directly counter with a powerful strike highlighted through a dynamic camera.

NieR: Automata’s YoRHa No.2 Type Bwill be joining the battle of souls and swords in SoulCalibur VI's stage of history on December 18th to vanquish all foes who dare stand before her on the field of battle. Eras collide and swords will clash with YoRHa No.2 Type B’s addition to SOULCALIBUR VI’s robust character roster of legendary sword wielding fighters.

Sent on a confidential mission, 2B arrived in a location unlike any she had seen before. Scanning her language database for a description, the words “ancient castle” were returned. Her sensors detected no machine lifeforms. "Communication received from Bunker", spoke the robotic voice from 2B's tactical support pod. "Mission received. “Objective: Destroy the hostile entity, Soul Edge."

2B wields two swords, Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty. Both have been carefully tuned for maximum efficiency in the hands of a YoRHa android. Her fighting technique is specially designed for combat against machine lifeforms, employing acrobatic leaps and midair slashes, lightning-fast evasions and perfectly coordinated strikes.

2B will be a playable fighter in Versus mode, Arcade mode and Online matches – and come with her own stage, background music and character customisation elements.

She’ll come as part of the SOULCALIBUR VI Season Pass or to download as a standalone character.

Key Features:

  • The legendary weapon-based 3D fighting game returns to its roots
  • State of the art graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4
  • A complete roster of returning characters and newcomers
  • An epic story mode of the struggle for the two swords
  • Revamped gameplay mechanics for intense showdowns
  • Dynamic fights enhanced by cinematic-styled combat

SoulCalibur VI is in development for PS4, Xbox One and PC, scheduled for release on October 19, 2018.
