The Soulcalibur series is no stranger to guest characters, ranging from Link, Spawn, Kratos, to even Star Wars vets Yoda and Vader. So it doesn’t surprise me that rumors are already circling that Soulcalibur 5 may have a guest star as well.
What does surprise me is the fact that this one fits perfectly into the world, and that would be one Ezio Auditore de Firenze from the Assassin’s Creed Series. While this is just a speculation, and not confirmed by Namco at this point, a screenshot (shown above) looks legit enough to almost confirm the addition of the Italian assassin.
While we don’t have full confirmation just yet, and there is also no information about whether Ezio would be limited to a certain version of the game, or available to anyone playing it. But one thing is for sure: The Hidden Blade would look pretty nice decked out with Soul Edge finery.
