Namco has officially announced the guest characters that will be appearing in the individual console versions of Soul Calibur 2.
Link from The Legend of Zelda series will be appearing in the GameCube version of the game while Heihachi from the Tekken
series and Todd McFarlane’s Spawn will appear in the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions. All three versions of Soul Calibur 2 will
feature the fighter known as Necrid, a character created specifically for Soul Calibur 2
by Todd McFarlane Productions.
As far as gameplay modes are concerned, each version of Soul Calibur 2 will feature arcade, versus, time attack, survival, team
battle, and practice. In addition, the game will feature an entirely new mode called weapon master, in which players can collect and
equip their character with over 200 different weapons.
Soul Calibur II is scheduled for release on March 27 in Japan. The North American versions have been slated for an August 2003
release.
