|  Exclusive First Look at Soulcalibur IV
Quote:
Did Soulcalibur: Legends make you worried Namco Bandai had ditched the series' roots? Breathe easy, as we're setting your fears to rest; as we previously revealed, Soulcalibur IV is coming and today we can confirm the fourth iteration headed to both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2008.
Details are scarce, but here's what we know so far: Ivy, Mitsurugi and Nightmare are all confirmed returns, new and unannounced characters will make their debut, and the game features "realistic environments, interactive stages, enhanced AI, and a new battle system," according to Namco Bandai. A lot more will be revealed in EGM's upcoming Soulcalibur IV cover story.
Oh, and did we mention 1UP has the first look at the teaser trailer? Check out GameVideos for a high-resolution version of the footage we have so far and HTML that'll let you drop the footage in your blog.
"Soulcalibur has been a cornerstone franchise for Namco Bandai Games and this latest edition will build upon its legacy of groundbreaking fighting experiences," said Makoto Iwai, exec. VP and COO at Namco Bandai Games America. "With Soulcalibur IV, long-time fans and newcomers to the franchise will be amazed by its visual beauty and intense, pulse pounding weapon combat."
