'SoulCalibur V' Getting Delisted Next Week

by Rainier on June 12, 2023 @ 8:44 a.m. PDT

SoulCalibur V delivers exhilarating 3D fighting mechanics, breathtaking visuals, and new characters, as well as expanding the online and character creation modes.

SoulCalibur V picks up 17 years after the events of SoulCalibur IV with new heroes and returning warriors clashing in an epic showdown between good and evil.

The tale of Patroklos, son of Sophitia Alexandra, unfolds as his family’s destiny intertwines with the Soul swords. With the series’ revolutionary 8-way run, allowing for true 3D movement during matches, a refined battle system, and stunning graphics, SoulCalibur V will be the top game for anyone looking for a knock-down, drag-out fight.

Set 17 years after its predecessor, SoulCalibur V comes loaded with new game features and fan favorite guest character Ezio Auditore de Firenze from Ubisoft’s multi-million unit selling franchise, Assassin’s Creed.

After more than a decade, Bandai Namco announced that it will be shutting down Soul Calibur 5 next week.

Valiant Warriors - Soul Calibur V is taking its final curtain call on the stage of history and will be sunset on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on June 19, 2023.

The base game and all associated DLC will no longer be available for purchase.

Thank you for your continued support.

Alongside the standard retail edition, a special Collector’s Edition of SoulCalibur V will also be available at launch which includes a music CD, making-of video content, hardcover art book and the Dark Knight and White Knight downloadable armor sets for Character Creation Mode. The Collector’s Edition comes packaged in a faux leather-bound book replica of the one featured prominently within SoulCalibur V.

SoulCalibur V picks up 17 years after the events of SoulCalibur IV with new heroes and returning warriors clashing in an epic showdown between good and evil. The tale of Patroklos, son of Sophitia Alexandra, unfolds as his family’s destiny becomes entwined with the Soul swords. With improved character customization and new gameplay features including the Brave Edge and Critical Edge systems, plus the dangerous presence of master assassin Ezio Auditore de Firenze, SoulCalibur V will be the must-have fighting game of 2012.
