Soulcalibur 2 HD Online sharpens its weapons next month
On Wednesday November 20, Soulcalibur 2 HD Online will transcend history and the world. Or to be specific, Namco Europe announced the remastered fighter will be available to download on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
It's unclear if that date applies to the US version - tradition is for XBLA and PSN games to arrive on Tuesdays - but we do have a Euro-price of €19. which ought to translate to a US tag in the $20 region.
The absence of GameCube guest Link is upsetting but understandable, but PS2 and Xbox returnees Heihachi and Spawn do at least feature. As the name suggests, this tale of souls and sword will be eternally retold in high-definition, with support for online versus play.
