Namco’s newly released screens of free-to-play, single-player entry SoulCalibur: Lost Swords are more revealing than they first seem. According to Siliconera, what we’re looking at is a support system that lets you temporarily swap in a friend’s character for your own.
Namco Bandai hasn’t released any concrete details on what modes feature in Lost Swords, but we do know the game’s running on the “next iteration” of theSoulCalibur 5 engine. As Producer Masaaki Hashino told us in September, “The game system itself is quite different, it’s been more streamlined and simplified so that people can more easily perform flashy, over-the-top maneuvers,”
Soulcalibur: Lost Swords is due to hit the PlayStation Network this winter.
