. It will take place during the 16th century between the years 1583 and at least 1590, according to a story mode screenshot (although these dates are subject to change). The main story will revolve around the battle between the cursed sword, Soul Edge and the spirit sword, Soul Calibur. It will retell events that occurred during the original Soulcalibur era, with some new additions and changes.

The game will include a story mode that highlights individual characters.

Soulcalibur VI introduces a brand new feature called Reversal Edge, which can be performed using a single button. This triggers a slow-motion exchange with a single button input from each player, with the outcome decided by a much more complicated version of rock, paper, scissors.

Armour break makes a return from Soulcalibur IV and Soulcalibur V. It appears to break different sections of armour, as it did in Soulcalibur IV, and it also seems to affect hairstyles.

Another new game mechanic is called the Lethal Hit, an advanced system where landing certain moves in the right condition will send the opponent flying.

Guard Impact\'s make their return into the game, and is free of any gauge cost.

Critical Edge returns from Soulcalibur V, largely unchanged.

Soul Charge returns since Soulcalibur III, completely overhauled. It can cause certain characters to transform into different versions of themselves, granting special abilities.

Just Guard from Soulcalibur V also makes its return to the game. Potential changes to the mechanics are still unknown.

Soul Chronicle is a new Story Mode, recounting the events of the first Soulcalibur through a main storyline and a storyline for each character, including Geralt of Rivia.

Libra of Soul is a separate, non-canon Story Mode. The player creates their own character and embarks on a journey.

Along with these two Story Modes, a third game mode is set to appear.

Character Creation was confirmed by the director Motohiro Okubo.

The game will feature "Signature 16th century stages".
