Just ippon over to another franchise<\/h2>

As part of the ongoing EVO Japan 2020 fighting game tournament, Bandai Namco has streamed a brand new trailer for its swords and sorcery fighter Soulcalibur VI<\/em>, giving us a good look at its next DLC character, Haohmaru, who will be taking time out from Samurai Shodown<\/em> the square off against Mitsurugi, Taki, Voldo and the rest of the SC<\/em> crew.<\/p>

As the poster boy for SNK’s classic fighting franchise, Haohmaru brings with him quite a pedigree. A stoic and noble warrior, an exceptional swordsman, and a masterful tactician in combat, Haohmaru will slide right into the Soulcalibur<\/em> universe, where he will join fellow guest stars Geralt from The Witcher<\/em><\/a> and 2B from NieR: Automata.<\/a><\/p>

<\/em>You can check out the Haohmaru’s trailer below, recorded from live stream by YouTuber Rikukey2.<\/a><\/p>

<\/iframe>
While we do know that Haohmaru will be the next DLC character to arrive as part of Soulcalibur VI<\/em>‘s season two pass, no specific date has been released for the wild-haired samurai. It’s a fair bet to say that fans will probably not be kept waiting much longer.<\/p>

Soulcalibur VI<\/em> is available now on PS4, PC and Xbox One. Samurai Shodown<\/em> is available now on PS4 and Xbox One, and arrives on Nintendo Switch February 25.<\/p>
