The seventh entry in the mainline Soul franchise published by Namco. Instead of continuing the timeline laid out in previous titles, the game positions itself as a soft reboot for the setting, offering a retelling of the events of SoulCalibur 1 with potentially some changed details, including new and returning characters not otherwise seen in the original game. This is evidenced by the initial trailers and gameplay demos showing off a young Mitsurugi and a living Sophitia. The game released worldwide on October 18, 2018 for XBOX One, Playstation 4, and PC (Steam).
