SoulCalibur 6 Debuts First Footage Of Guest DLC Character Haohmaru

SoulCalibur VI's next guest character, Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown, was announced back in August 2019. He's one of four new characters joining the game in this DLC season, but until now we'd seen no footage of the swordsman in action.

Now, a first-look trailer for Haohmaru has been released, showing the samurai slashing through SoulCalibur stalwart Heishiro. The footage below gives us a sense of how well Haohmaru will fit into the world of Namco Bandai's fighting game.

The character is set to join the game in the "spring," although a specific release date has not been nailed down beyond that. The SoulCalibur World Tour 2020 is currently underway, having begun in Tokyo over the weekend of January 25-26.

The SoulCalibur series is no stranger to guest fighters--previous guests include Link from The Legend of Zelda (SoulCalibur II on GameCube), Darth Vader (SoulCalibur IV on PS3), Ezio from Assassin's Creed (SoulCalibur V) and Geralt of Rivia (SoulCalibur VI at launch).

SoulCalibur VI received an 8/10 in our review, and reviewer Tamoor Hussain praised it for being easy to access and challenging to master. "Like all the best titles in the genre, it has a low barrier to entry and high skill ceiling. For those looking to get in a few games with friends it's welcoming and immediately enjoyable. For those committed to ploughing the depths of its systems to get tournament ready, it has plenty to unpack and understand."

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
