Bandai Namco Confirms the Much-Anticipated Return of Raphael in SoulcaliburVI

On Wednesday morning, a week after their last character reveal, Bandai Namco has revealed another fighter in Soulcalibur VI’s roster: series staple Raphael Sorel.

This doesn’t come as too much of a surprise to fans who have kept up with news on the forthcoming title: Raphael and the previously revealed character, Cervantes, were leaked at the beginning of September. Images and a now-taken-down gameplay video on YouTube (with a backup over at Bilibili) of Raphael and Cervantes were leaked from a playable build at a recent fighting game tournament in Melbourne, Australia. Bandai Namco has now officially revealed both characters.

Watch the character reveal trailer below. Soulcalibur VI releases on Oct. 19 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
