The Blades of Chaos Will Strike in SOULCALIBUR®: Broken Destiny
LOS ANGELES - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Greek mythos collides with the eternal tale of souls and swords as NAMCO
BANDAI Games America Inc., today announced that Kratos, from Sony
Computer Entertainment America's critically revered God of War
franchise, will appear as a guest character in SOULCALIBUR:
Broken Destiny. Developed by Project Soul
exclusively for the PSP (PlayStation®Portable)
system, SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny is the first portable
iteration in the series that promises to deliver its signature
weapon-based fighting formula on-the-go. Robust and challenging
single-player modes, head-to-head multiplayer and gorgeous visuals make
this a must-have for any fighting game fan.
"In creating the Soulcalibur PSP system exclusive title, we knew Kratos
was the only choice to appear as our special guest character," said
Makoto Iwai, Executive Vice President and COO, NAMCO BANDAI Games
America. "God of War embodies the characteristics of a classic
Soulcalibur guest character with a powerful persona, a rich back story
and a mighty blade with which to fight."
"The God of War development team are huge fans of the Soulcalibur
series. We were honored to make Kratos a special guest character in SOULCALIBUR:
Broken Destiny for PSP," said Allan Becker, senior director,
SCEA Santa Monica Studio. "NAMCO BANDAI has been great to work with;
they're dedicated to bringing authentic Kratos combat moves to the game."
With SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny's huge roster of
warriors, players can battle as one of many returning favorites or new
fighters for some nail biting brawls. Blow away the competition using
finely tuned and enhanced mechanics including Critical Finishes, Soul
Crushes and Equipment Destruction. Adding depth to the combat, an all
new single player mode has been developed that not only challenges a
player's reflexes but also improves their fighting skills. SOULCALIBUR:
Broken Destiny also allows gamers to engage in local wireless
battles, allowing them to challenge a friend using the PSP system's ad
hoc networking. Furthermore, an almost limitless character customization
feature returns with even more possibilities to create a personalized
fighter. Adrenaline pumping combat has never been so accessible.
SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny for the PSP system will be
released in North America this summer. For more information, please
