Only a day ago, the gameplay trailer for the Japanese demon-hunting kunoichi Taki was leaked.
Taki has appeared inSoulcaliburas early as 1995, and is in fact one of the originalSoul Edgecharacters, which is the first everSoulcaliburgame. In the leaked Taki gameplay trailer, Taki is shown with her original red jumpsuitSoulcaliburoutfit, and nostalgic fans will be happy to know that the character does not seem to have changed much for the latest installment of the franchise. Taki will still be using her Kodachi short swords, named Rekki-Maru & Mekki-Maru, and she keeps her iconic Japanese voice.
Taki has appeared in almost all of theSoulcaliburgames to date, as well as in many other fighting games, and she has undoubtedly remained a fan-favorite for many years. ManySoulcaliburfans will be happy to see that she will be returning inSoulcalibur 6along with other classicSoulcaliburcharacters such asIvy and Zasalamel.
In addition to these, so far Kilik, Sophitia, Mitsurugi, Nightmare, and Xianghua, as well as one new character,Groh, have also been confirmed by Bandai Namco.

As is seen in otherSoulcalibur 6reveal trailers, many of the classicSoulcaliburcharacters will not be undergoing many changes in terms of looks and weapons in the new game. For old-time fans of the franchise, this may be a welcomed nostalgic experience, but it would be nice to see some more character development after so many years.
Soulcalibur 6will be released later this year on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
