“Soulcalibur V is a continuation of SCIV,” says the game’s director, Daishi Odashima. “It’s not a spin-off or a different series.” Odashima was talking to his fans over Twitter about the game right until the announcement itself was made. Amongst other areas, Odashima wishes to improve the game’s story mode.
“The story of V is set in the future of IV,” Odashima says. “The main character is a young man named Patroklos. The hardcore fans should know who he is!” Odashima might be referring to Sophitia and Rothio’s son.
Release set for 2012
- New main character; Patroklos, 25; Sophitia's son and Cassandra's nephew
- Takes place 17 years after the events of SCIV
