We weren’t expecting Bandai Namco to reveal a new character for the newly released Soulcalibur 6, however during Paris Games Week, we were introduced to the second guest fighter to be joining the battle for Soul Edge.
YoRHa No 2 Type B – or better known as 2B from Square Enix’s Game of the Year winning Nier: Automata has been confirmed as the next available fighter in the Soulcalibur 6 Season Pass. 2B will come equipped with her famed blades, Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty, as well as several other weapons and abilities.
Her appearance will also bring a new Nier Automata inspired level with its own background music, and the season pass DLC also includes additional weapons for 2B, a secondary costume inspired by Nier’s Kaine, new stickers and new Costume accessories.
The Soulcalibur 6 season pass is available now and features returning fighter Tira as well as two additional playable characters who have yet to be revealed. The Pass costs $29.99 USD and comes packaged as part of the $89.99 USD Deluxe Edition.
While 2B is a welcomed addition to the what is surely going to be a Fighting Game of the Year contender, we kind of feel bad for those who put work into creating 2B in the Character Creation tool (there is SO MANY variations of her out there.)
