Ubisoft has announced that Soul Calibur IV is set for release in Europe on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this July 31st. The French publisher has taken on the distribution responsibilities in the region for the game's developer/publisher Namco Bandai.
"We are thrilled to be bringing Soul Calibur's successful heritage to PAL territories as it sets into motion a new echelon of dynamic gameplay and exceptional game graphics on next generation platforms," said John Parkes, EMEA Marketing Director at Ubisoft. "Offering players an ultimate fighting game experience, Soul Calibur IV will definitely be an owners 'must have' in building their game collection library."
Soul Calibur IV will bring new characters to the saga, such as Hilde (who looks kind of like a Greek Warrior woman with a shield and short sword), as well as Scheherazade and Angol Fear, who have been designed by renowned manga and character artists. There are also some interesting bonus sabre wielders in the form of Darth Vader and Yoda.
Additionally, competitive online modes will be featured for the first time ever in the Soul Calibur series, while equipment damage and the option of 'Critical Finish' ending moves by filling up the Soul Gauge are set to offer a few tasty extra features as well.
