Last night, we got our first look at SoulCalibur VI gameplay, and we didn’t have to wait much longer for more! Bandai Namco was a guest on the PlayStation Experience 2017 stream today, and they would up giving a 10-minute demonstration of the upcoming fighting game. It’s set to release in 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
One of the features that was shown off is the new reversal edge. This allows players to “clash against each other and follow-up with powerful counterattacks based on their opponent’s actions.” The game will feature a wide variety of modes including online battles, or fighting against the computer.

Here are the details Bandai Namco has released thus far:
The SOULCALIBUR franchise has been the premier 3D weapon-based fighting series since the original SOUL BLADE released in arcades in 1995.

Reversal Edge enables characters to clash against each other and follow-up with powerful counterattacks based on their opponent’s actions. Challenge the computer AI, compete against friends, or challenge fighters from around the world in high-speed dynamic battles with jaw-dropping visual effects.
