But if you're truly looking to give your opponent something to cry about, it's all about wielding sharpened steel, and nothing beats Namco Bandai's Soul Calibur series for weapon-based fighting thrills. In our world-exclusive preview, we'll reveal the future direction of this beloved series."

It seems the adventure-based Soul Calibur Legends for the Wii simply wasn't enough. Namco Bandai is gearing up for the next generation of Soul Calibur. We'll keep you up to date.
