Tales of Symphonia’s Lloyd Irving joins Soul Calibur: Legends

The latest Famitsu magazine scan for Nintendo Wii title Soul Calibur: Legends reveals that a guest character has been added in the next-gen iteration of the franchise in the persona of Lloyd Irving. This particular character is the main protagonist of the video game Tales of Symphonia.

The latter franchise is owned by Namco Bandai as well. There are still no details, however, regarding Lloyd’s part in Soul Calibur: Legends. Given that the series shifted genre in Legends, it’s quite hard to imagine how he will fit in the game alongside other established warriors such as Siegfried and Ivy.

If we may hazard a guess, we think that Lloyd Irving is going to be an unlockable character, much like Astaroth who is both a playable and boss entity in the game. But then again, we could be completely wrong. We guess we will all just find out when Soul Calibur: Legends ships to retail stores this holiday season.
