If a portable Tekken 6 isn’t to your liking, then maybe you’d prefer to see Soul Calibur on the PlayStation Portable instead. If so, you’re in luck. That’s exactly what Namco Bandai has in store for you. A new entry in the long-running Soul Calibur series called Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny is being prepped for a summer release on the PSP.
Unlike Tekken 6, which is essentially a port of the home console versions, Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny will be a PSP original. It will feature a roster of more than 20 characters, including mainstays Voldo, Mitsurugi, Ivy, and Cassandra along with a new character called Dampierre. That’s him looking campy up top. No Yoda though. Same with Darth Vader.
One cool feature in particular is a lighting system that lets stages have different times of day. An enhanced character creation system will also be included along with local ad-hoc multiplayer. There’s also a single-player campaign that’s designed to teach players the intricacies of the game. Think of it as a long, detailed tutorial, if you will.
Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny will be officially unveiled at E3 09. You know, with all these new ad-hoc games coming out Sony really should start setting up the Ad-hoc Party service outside Japan. Just a thought. Maybe they’ll have something for us at E3.
