Bandai Namco Producer Motohiro Okubo has shed some light on Soulcalibur 6’s single-player modes. As was first reported by Destructoid, Okubo told Japan’s Famitsu magazine that Soulcalibur 6 features a story mode called “Soul Chronicle” with an interactive timeline starring the entire cast of fighters.
Soul Chronicle is set between A.D. 1583 and 1590, making it both a Soulcalibur origin story and a continuation of the events that have unfolded in previous games. The story mode’s first events will offer up some backstory taking place before the tale told in the original Soulcalibur, but the story will continue forward from there. Players will be treated to illustrated and 3D cutscenes while they battle through the critical moments that shaped the fates of Soulcalibur’s cast of fighters.
