Bandai Namco announced this morning via a press release that 2B, the combat android from NieR: Automata, is coming to Soulcalibur VI with her own stage, theme music, wields her classic double swords. It doesn’t give a release date and only says “coming soon”, but this may be one of the best crossovers (including Geralt and Link) that the Soulcalibur series has ever seen. 2B is an incredible character and we can’t wait to get the chance to check her out; she’s a perfect fit for Soulcalibur.
“The SOULCALIBUR franchise is famous for inviting guest characters on to the stage of history to battle against its myriad of characters.
