Overview

Soulcalibur V (ソウルキャリバーV, Sōrukyaribā Faibu) is a 2012 fighting game developed by Project Soul and published by Namco Bandai Games for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. As the sixth main installment in Namco's Soulcalibur series, Soulcalibur V serves as a follow-up to Soulcalibur IV (2008). It retains the weapon-based combat that characterizes the series while introducing a new protagonist, Patroklos, who aims to free his sister from a curse inflicted upon her by an ancient weapon. This installment marks the conclusion of the original Soul series timeline.

The game received positive reviews, being praised for its gameplay, atmosphere, and character creation. However, it faced criticism for the removal of fan-favorite characters, the newly introduced characters, and for its story mode. It was succeeded by Soulcalibur VI (2018).
