The Best 5 Games to Look Forward to in October 2018
Soul Calibur VI (Release Date: Oct. 19)
It’s been a while since the Soul Calibur franchise has seen a release, and it’s been even longer since fans were satisfied with the direction the series was headed in. This looks to change with the release of Soul Calibur VI, the series’ next entry and a soft reboot of the franchise’s story and characters. While the plot remains largely the same – several warriors are drawn together in their pursuit of the legendary Soul Edge and must duke it out to claim ownership – it has also set the clock back so that the events of the previous games will be rewritten. As a result, characters from across the series’ lineage will confront each other in a new clash for power, free of the convoluted chain of events from past entries while still nodding to it through the game’s roster.
Amid these changes though, other elements have remained the same: Combat is still tight and easy to pick up, and the game will feature a guest character from another franchise, Geralt of Rivia, the protagonist of The Witcher RPG series. It was a long time coming, but fans won’t want to miss this promising return.
