Soul Calibur V Arriving in 2012 for PS3 and Xbox 360

You know what? Not sure if it's just me, but fighting games seem to be coming back these days where FPS games have mostly taken over. Capcom had always been the king of the fighting genre, but Namco Bandai has always been know as being in 2nd place, sometimes, by fans, maybe better when it comes to their franchise, Tekken. However, that's not stopping Namco Bandai by outting their other fighting franchise, Soul Calibur from coming back either.

Soul Calibur V, the next installment in the series has been announced at Namco Bandai's "Level Up Dubai 2011" press event.

According to Kotaku, Daishi Odashima, the game's director has been tweeting details about what the story will entail, although, it's not much for now at least. The game will take place 17 years after Soul Calibur, where we will get to know a new character, Patroklos, the son of Sophitia and Rothion. Nightmare and Ziegfriend are confirmed to return in the roster and character creation from Soul Calibur IV will also return for you customizing junkies.

Here's the trailer that was shown off at the press event, which should definitely excite fighting game addicts!
