During a press event in San Francisco, DualShockers was allowed to record a nice chunk of gameplay footage of the upcoming fighting game SoulCalibur VI.

What's even more interesting is that we tried out the new and returning characters that were revealed yesterday, including newcomer Grøh, and familiar faces Nightmare, Xianghua, and Kilik from the previous chapters of the series.

As a bonus, we also see more of the first characters that were initially announced for the title, Sophitia and Mitsurugi.

On top of the video, we also get a press package with a ton of new screenshots of the newly-introduced characters, mostly focused on their Critical Edge moves.

You can check out the video in all its glory below, alongside the full gallery of screenshots. If you want to see more, you can also enjoy yesterday's trailer that introduced the fighters you'll see here, another trailer from December featuring Sophitia, another recent gameplay video, a few screenshots showing more of Sophitia and Mitsurugi, the first trailer, a one more clip, and some gameplay straight from PlayStation Experience.

SoulCalibur VI will release in 2018 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Of course, there are many more characters to come, but for now this is what we get.
