Bandai Namco and Square Enix are tag-teaming to bring us Nier: Automata's 2B in Soulcalibur VI!
Guest characters have been a staple for the Soulcalibur series since Soulcalibur II. That's why Geralt's in it, much to my delight. It's a great way to introduce people who might not otherwise play Soulcalibur to the series. 2B's introduction is definitely making some Nier: Automata fans consider picking up Soulcalibur VI.
Sent on a confidential mission, 2B arrived in a location unlike any she had seen before. Scanning her language database for a description, the words “ancient castle” were returned. Her sensors detected no machine lifeforms. "Communication received from Bunker", spoke the robotic voice from 2B's tactical support pod. "Mission received. “Objective: Destroy the hostile entity, Soul Edge."
It really makes so much sense. She fits so well with the cast! She has two swords, Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty.
Her alt costume looks fantastic! It's essentially an inverted color scheme with the black and white. It looks crazy good.
She will have a bunch of acrobatic moves and a lot of mid-air attacks, which I guess would make her quite unique.
She'll be playable in versus modes, online modes, and the arcade mode. She'll come with her own stage (like Geralt), background music, and customization options. She's part of the season pass but she'll also be released as a special DLC character individually. Her release date will be revealed soon.
