Soul Calibur VI Welcomes Geralt of Rivia
SOULCALIBUR VI WELCOMES GERALT OF RIVIA AS GUEST CHARACTER
Signature fighting style, English voice of Geralt of Rivia and the Kaer Morhen stage as special features
BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe and CD PROJEKT RED, creators of
The Witcher games series, announce Geralt of Rivia joining the playable character roster of
SOULCALIBUR VI, the long-waited weapon-based 3D fighting game scheduled to be launched in 2018.
Geralt
was trained at the elite School of the Wolf and is considered one of
the deadliest monster slayers. He possesses superhuman
reflexes and strength, as well as superior sword fighting skills.
Players who choose to fight as Geralt will utilize the witcher’s
signature fighting style — a combination of swordplay, ability-enhancing
potions, and combat magic.
Doug Cockle — the English voice of Geralt of Rivia — returns in SOULCALIBUR VI to reprise the role. Gamers will also be able to fight in
Kaer Morhen — home keep of the School of the Wolf. Accompanying players in battle will be “Hunt or be Hunted” — an iconic composition from
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt soundtrack.
“SOULCALIBUR is well known in the fighting games genre for including iconic guest characters. When we were approached with
the idea of doing a crossover, we thought our community would really enjoy playing as the witcher,” said Marcin Momot, Community Lead at CD PROJEKT RED. “We’ve
collaborated with BANDAI NAMCO artists to faithfully recreate Geralt,
and shared original
Witcher 3 assets like Geralt’s model, animations, and weapons. I think
BANDAI NAMCO did an outstanding job of capturing all the details and
introducing The Witcher to SOULCALIBUR in a way fans of both series will
enjoy,” added Marcin Momot.
The legendary weapon-based 3D fighting game returns to its roots. SOULCALIBUR VI
has never looked more dynamic or dramatic,
intensified with eye-popping graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4.
Travel through the signature 16th century stages and experience the
struggle for the two legendary swords using a complete roster of
returning iconic SOULCALIBUR characters including Mitsurugi
Sophitia, along with Kilik, Nightmare, Ivy and some newcomers!
SOULCALIBUR VI,
featuring Geralt of Rivia and the training grounds of Kaer Morhen stage,
will
be launched in 2018 for PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC Digital via
STEAM® and other distributors. For more information about the game and
