There are many characters that come to mind when one thinks about the SoulCalibur series, one of whom is most certainly Taki. A speedy ninja clad in her now iconic red skin-tight getup, Taki was unfortunately benched and missing from SoulCalibur V. Thankfully, Bandai Namco has officially announced that the legendary ninja Taki will be a playable character in SoulCalibur VI. Check out the brand new gameplay trailer showing off Taki’s moves below:

As seen in the trailer above, Taki is just as zippy as she always has been, relying on her speed to execute precision strikes on her opponents. For those interested in a little of Taki’s backstory, here it is:

Taki is a famous ninja also known as the Fu-Ma’s Shadow, so there’s no doubting her fighting skills! She is also an expert in blacksmithing having crafted her own two swords Rekki-Maru & Mekki-Maru. Her last masterpiece Mekki-Maru is fused with a fragment of the Cursed Sword. Even if the whereabouts of the Soul Edge are unknown, Taki’s weapon still glows with a mysterious power…”

Here is what to expect from the storyline in SoulCalibur Vi, which suggests a revisiting of events from the original SoulCalibur:

SOULCALIBUR VI represents the latest entry in the premier weapons-based, head-to-head fighting series and continues the epic struggle of warriors searching for the legendary Soul Swords. Taking place in the 16th century, revisit the events of the original SOULCALIBUR to uncover hidden truths.”

SoulCalibur releases for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One at some point in 2018.
