Namco Bandai has just announced Soul Calibur 5, the new installment in the legendary fighting game series is coming to the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 in 2012.

The game will be produced by Hisaharu Tago and directed by Daishi Odashima. Hisaharu mentioned that the game will take place 17 years after Soul Calibur 4 and will feature both new and old characters.

"Soul Calibur 5 is set to advance the series' legacy of white-knuckled weapon-based combat, beautiful graphics and groundbreaking features, entrancing newcomers and long-time fans alike," says Namco Bandai. According to Odashima the story of Soul Calibur 5 follows a young man named Patroklos, perhaps Sophitia and Rothio's son?

Online and character creation features have been expanded upon, and additions have been made to the battle system to create an even more refined experience for fighting game fans.

    I would really want them to make night terra from soul calibur 3 playable without a cheat device because he is an awesome character. He's the only reason play soul calibur three. I use with a cheat device.

    please make elements in CREATE A CHARACTER: items to create an APACHE INDIAN WARRIOR, or better yet, make that kind of character in the story! History tells us that apache indian warriors were some of the all-time fiercest warriors! I am from Southeast Asia, but i am very astonished about the ferocity of indians.

    and they're going to invent a plot device that prevents the old cast from aging, probably something to do with soul edge fragments. or old kilik still is gonna woop all kinds of _ and grow a fu man chu!

    I bet a bunch of the main characters all had sex and made babies then got them to have their disciplines.

    lol this is a joke. I'm not really interested, jumping 17 years in time almost seems like they're trying to sweep their brilliant Star Wars cross over under the rug. Siegfried Vs Nightmare felt like the penultimate battle on the stage of history. Maybe I'm wrong, but oh boy, Sophitia's son? Not interested. Also worried that they say there's emphasis on short swords, does that mean Siegfried won't be using his trusty weapon? Or no Kilik? I wonder if they'll try to "reinvent" everything in this game. I certainly hope not, but color me uninterested so far Bandai. Do better.

    I wish Mortal Kombat would do the same instead of using real people, I enjoyed the new Mortal Kombats story mode better than the live action movies

    i hope they widen the range of warriors. the producers seem to have forgotten icons like an APACHE INDIAN, an AZTEC WARRIOR, a Kali-wielding Filipino native fighter, a CRUSADER, a kris-wielding MOSLEM WARRIOR, a sai-wielding japanese lady warrior, a bald shaolin warrior...c'mon guys -- u forgot them!

    and why is it, may i ask, that the producers seem to be so unable to make an oriental-looking eyes!?! even the eyes of their japanese and chinese characters look like those of caucasian?

    polish more.

    SoulCalibur IV's character creation remains my all-time favorite out of any game out there. If they expand on that to allow changes in height and allow for greater variety in body and face design, I will never put it down.
