SoulCalibur 6 Gets A Second Story Mode And A Series Veteran Makes Her Return
<p>During <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/gamescom/">Gamescom 2018</a>, Bandai Namco announced the second story mode for <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/soulcalibur-vi/">SoulCalibur 6</a>. The company also revealed a gameplay trailer for Tira, a new DLC fighter.</p><p>The new story mode is called Libra of Souls, and it allows you to play as your own custom character through a single-player campaign. You'll have 16 different races to choose from for your character before customizing how they look, from their body type to facial features. You'll even be able to pick what type of fighting style they specialize in, and choose the armor and weapon that you think best fits that style.</p><p>After making your character, you'll fight your way through a unique campaign that pits you against an evil mastermind bent on gathering the Soul Edge shards. Familiar faces from SoulCalibur 6's main campaign, Chronicle of Souls, will show up to either help or hinder you. Chronicle of Souls takes you back to the beginning of the SoulCalibur franchise and revisits the events of the first game. Like the fighters you play as in Chronicle of Souls, your custom Libra of Souls character will be available to play in both online casual and ranked matches.</p><div data-embed-type="video" data-ref-id="2300-6445666" data-src="/videos/soulcalibur-6-tira-dlc-gameplay-reveal-trailer-gam/2300-6445666/" data-width="100%" data-height="100%"><iframe src="/videos/embed/6445666/" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div><p>At Gamescom, Bandai Namco also revealed a gameplay trailer for DLC fighter Tira. First introduced in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/soulcalibur-iii/">SoulCalibur 3</a>, Tira has since become a veteran of the franchise and appeared in both <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/soulcalibur-iv/">SoulCalibur 4</a> and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/soulcalibur-v/">SoulCalibur 5</a>.</p><p>In both SoulCalibur 4 and 5, Tira's fighting style was transformed to match how her personality unexpectedly changes. She has two different states, Gloomy and Jolly, with the former allowing her to dish out more powerful attacks at the cost of her own health. Some of her moves allow you to switch Tira's states on the fly, but she can also just change whenever she feels like it or after she's struck by certain attacks. The new trailer suggests Tira maintains this fighting style in SoulCalibur 6, but Bandai Namco hasn't confirmed whether or not that is the case.</p><p>SoulCalibur 6 is launching for Xbox One, PS4, and PC on October 19.</p>
