With the Soulcalibur VI release sneaking up very quickly, we assume that Bandai Namco will run out of new characters to announce in the somewhat near future. Until that happens, we’ll keep in passing along the info and media, as we’re doing today.

Anyway, everyone’s favorite immortal pirate fighter has been confirmed for Soulcalibur VI, and you can check out his announcement trailer and details below. Soulcalibur VI launches on October 19th, 2018 for the PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Soulcalibur VI – Cervantes Reveal Trailer | PS4, X1, PC:

Soulcalibur VI – Cervantes screens:

A pirate?s life can only be described as one long sailing adventure, filled with enough twists and turns to last multiple lifetimes. So, imagine the stories of adventure and swashbuckling Cervantes must have since he?s been sailing the seven seas as an immortal pirate since forever!

Cervantes is a bad man in every sense of the term. Wielding dual swords ? Acheron which he plundered from its former owner, and Nirvana, a dagger whose hilt houses a pistol ? Cervantes is simply deadly with these blades, especially when he rushes opponents, knocks them down, or launches them in the air in order to deal hard-hitting combos for maximum destruction and pain.

All this power is not without its drawbacks as Cervantes is cursed to pursue Soul Edge for eternity, drawn to the sword?s power, his life intertwined with the fate of the cursed blade.
