New SoulCalibur 6 Gameplay Video Reveals Taki

Bandai Namco has announced another fighter for SoulCalibur VI, and it's a familiar face. Taki, the deadly ninja, returns to the series armed with her dual blades Rekki-Maru and Mekki-Maru. Her visual design is largely in line with previous iterations, except now Japanese text becomes visible on her body as she uses ninjitsu.

Based on the gameplay video Taki looks to be as fast as ever, giving her the ability to manoeuvre around opponents and close distance very quickly. Once she's in, she's able to strike with fast stabs of her blade, roll to get underneath attacks, and use ninjitsu for bigger, more explosive moves. Check her out in the video above.

In March, Bandai Namco announced a guest character for SoulCalibur VI, and it was The Witcher's Geralt. "We've collaborated with Bandai Namco artists to faithfully recreate Geralt, and shared original Witcher 3: Wild Hunt assets like Geralt's model, animations, and weapons," said CD Projekt Red community lead Marcin Momot. "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."

Since then it's been revealed that Geralt will also be featured on the SoulCalibur VI cover. The game does not yet have an exact release date, but it's due out for PS4, Xbox One, and PC sometime this year.
