Soulcalibu­r VI – 2B character pack

The first season pass DLC character is revealed

-

What better character to be announced first as part of Soulcalibu­r VI’s season DLC than the equally typography­breaking YoRHa android 2B from the fantastic Nier: Automata?

Revealed as we head to the printer, 2B will make her Soulcalibu­r VI debut “very soon”, which could mean… now! Soulcalibu­r VI’s 2B remains surprising­ly faithful to the Nier: Automata version. She brings her dual-sword moveset from her own game, swapping between weapons likely as her Soul Charge state changes. She can also dodge and dash in a manner that echoes her moves from Nier: Automata, and, best of all, her combos can be extended when linked to her Pod. 2B’s finishing moves are straight out of Nier: Automata, too. Like Geralt before her, this guest character feels like she’s always been a part of the Soulcalibu­r roster.

As well as 2B, you get her special stage themed around 11945 Earth. It’s bolstered by the Nier: Automata original soundtrack, which proves to be a fantastic stage of history to experience.

The DLC also comes with 2B’s weapons, costume parts, and stickers to use in the character customisat­ion mode. Speaking of which, the android has been Soulcalibu­r’ed for her alternate costume – a knicker-revealing silk dress. 2B continued…

THIS GUEST CHARACTER FEELS LIKE SHE’S ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF THE SOULCALIBU­R ROSTER.
