You can see six of the characters at work in our gameplay capture, including the new guy, an assassin called Grøh, who wields a double-ended sword that he can separate into two weapons. Old favorites Kilik, Xianghua, Mitsurugi and Sophitia are joined by Nightmare, who carries the infamous Soul Edge sword. Soulcalibur 6 takes place in the early years of this series, and so its returning characters glow with a flush of youth.

"I just want to say that this Soul Calibur MMORPG has ended up being absurdly cool. I definitely encourage you all to pick it up and give it a shot," he concludes.

He is seen as a merciless being, one who is driven solely by his desire to restore the Soul Edge – the cursed weapon he has wielded throughout many battles in the series.

The post also claims that the game will introduce seven newcomers, including the previously-revealed new fighter Groh. Between new and returning fighters, Soulcalibur 6 is said to be launching with a roster of 30 playable characters once it launches later this year.

Polygon has reached out to GameSprite for additional details on these technical issues and when to expect a fix.

Soulcalibur 6 will be available for download in autumn through PC browser.

Soulcalibur 6 was released for PC in 2018. The free-to-play fighting game is strictly single-player and pitted players against computer-controlled combatants.

GameSprite continues to update us with character trailers for SoulCalibur 6, the highly anticipated sequel in its weapon fighter series, and this one is about Nightmare.

Zasalamel - who goes into battle with time-manipulation abilities and a massive scythe - does have an affiliation with time-travel, so perhaps he's been included as a way to reboot the story? We look forward to finding out more.

"I myself actually really like Nightmare. From a Soul Calibur producer's point of view we have held this game to absurdly high standards in developing the specials, the Critical Edge, etc. to the point of being too particular, even. At any rate, I think that you'll understand what I mean when you see his," Okubo goes on to say in the video.
