Speaking in this week's issue of Famitsu (translated by Siliconera), Tago also confirmed that the line-up will contain a mix of familiar and new faces, that returning characters could sport new weapons and armour, and the game is roughly 10% complete.
Tago also promised that Soul Calibur V, like its predecessor, will feature guest characters, but gave away nothing away as to who they will be.
Darth Vader and Yoda made appearances in Soul Calibur IV, while Link popped up in Soul Calibur II. So who would you like slashing and hacking in Soul Calibur V? As always, let us know your thoughts below.
