New Soul Calibur II characters revealed

Namco has revealed that a Tekken mainstay Yoshimitsu and Cervantes the pirate will be returning in Soul Calibur II. The third character, named Charade, appears to be the latest incarnation of Inferno, as he's surrounded in flames and has the Soul Edge eye on his chest. These characters will join an already impressive cast that includes several returning characters from Soul Calibur, as well as some new faces.

The GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox versions of Soul Calibur II are currently scheduled for release in 2003.
