Soulcalibur 6 Gameplay Video Shows Cervantes

Cervantes the pirate is returning in Soulcaliber 6 and he says that souls will burn when he makes his epic arrival.

According to Bandai Namco, here is the backstory on the pirate who will be available at launch.

“When Cervantes first gripped Soul Edge, the power of the cursed sword transformed him into a monster. He used the sword to bring a reign of terror and carnage to the world, as the sword continued to manipulated his mind. But soon the cursed sword’s plans were thwarted by a heroic ninja and a brave warrior. Cervantes was defeated, consumed by fire and sentenced to the depths of hell, his body turned to ash.

Later the now new owner of the Soul Edge, Nightmare comes across Cervantes’s remains, but left without noticing the small glimmer of light emitting from his body. The Soul Edge had once again set the terrible wheels of fate moving and brought Cervantes back from the dead. After his resurrection, Cervantes now walks grinning through a sea of corpses, claiming countless souls and leaving desolation and destruction in his wake. His final aim is clear: to once again to make Soul Edge his own.”

Soulcaliber 6 arrives on October 18th for Playstation, Xbox, and PC.
