Bandai Namco has announced that Nier: Automata‘s black-clad android, 2B, will soon join Soul Calibur VI as a playable character. We don’t know exactly when she’ll be added to the game, but the new trailer embedded above gives us a good look at her fighting style:
2B wields two swords, Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty. Both have been carefully tuned for maximum efficiency in the hands of a YoRHa android. Her fighting technique is specially designed for combat against machine lifeforms, employing acrobatic leaps and mid-air slashes, lightning-fast evasions and perfectly coordinated strikes.
2B will be a playable fighter in Versus mode, Arcade mode, and Online matches. 2B will also come with her own stage and background music.
Once Bandai Namco adds 2B to Soul Calibur VI, she’ll also come with an alternate costume, alternate weapons, and “Extra Parts & Stickers” to further customize the character’s appearance.
