Samurai Shodown’s Haohmaru Available Now in Soulcalibur VI

Bandai Namco announced that SNK’s Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown is available now in their fighter Soulcalibur VI for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC-via Steam.

Haohmaru brings his Fugudoku blade to the Soulcalibur tournament as the collaborative fighter adds his own style to the roster. Players who own the Season pass can download him now, or purchase him as a stand-alone character. Additionally, his weapons are also added to the character creation system.

Soulcalibur VI includes the usage of weapons in a battle that the series is known for while bringing it back to its roots and focusing on the events that took place in the first Soulcalibur. The game also includes guest characters such as Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher 3. Players enter an arena where they must rely on counters and fast movement to beat their opponent. Some of the fields feature ring out features which mean an automatic loss for whoever falls.
