Soulcalibur Announcement Teased as Lost Swords Service Ends

Bandai Namco’s free-to-play Soulcalibur Lost Swords ended its service today. This single-player spinoff is the latest free-to-play experiment discontinued by the developer, but that isn’t what has the community talking.

In a Facebook post regarding the closure, the company has asked players to “look forward” to the next announcement, which will assuredly provide a glimpse into the series’ future.

While the Soulcalibur franchise has long been respected in gaming circles, it’s disappeared from the spotlight as of late. Aside from Lost Swords, the last release saw Soulcalibur II spruced up for modern platforms, and the most recent entry, Soulcalibur V, dropped in 2012.

Of course, this is by no means a concrete indication that Bandai is prepared to reveal the next numbered installment, but combined with their previous character poll, it isn’t hard to imagine they have something up their sleeves.

General: Just Cause 3 Isn’t an RPG, But You Should Still Play It

Just Cause 3 Isn

Square Enix graciously offered us a chance to play Just Cause 3 ahead of its launch via Steam, citing that it’s very much an open world RPG set in a modern setting. Now, we won’t go so far to call it an RPG in a traditional sense, but there’s so much fun to be had in this game that we can forgive its linear story and lunatic physics. It’s a toy box of wonders for any kid who imagined blowing stuff up with his or her GI Joes for hours on end.
