SoulCalibur fans, rejoice—on January 19 you can now play SoulCalibur V (watch the trailer here), Bandai Games’ latest version of the beloved game, on iOS devices like the iPad and iPhone.
The iOS version will feature 19 fighters, varying game modes, museum modes, time attack, and arcade, but unfortunately there’s no sign of a multi-player feature like team battle mode (we’re hoping this goes live for iOS and for an Android release down the road).
Don’t expect to get much accomplished after this release, as SoulCalibur is a rather addicting game, similar to classic old school favorites like Mortal Kombat and Tekken – except this time will take place 17 years post SoulCalibur IV, and “will continue the epic story of warriors in search of the legendary SOUL Swords in 17thcentury Europe. The heroic battles transpire in a beautiful and fluid world with eye-popping graphics.”
Major changes have been made to the now 6th version of SoulCalibur, including the removing of “Critical Finishes” of SoulCalibur IV, along with This version will also provide an armor destruction indicator, so there’s no way to tell when protection will break.
Pre-order your copy of the game today, available for XBOX or PlayStation; it hits the stores on January 31. Or if you’re lucky enough to have an iPhone or iPad, head to the app store on January 19 for a sneak peak of what’s to come.
