Namco Bandai has confirmed that Soulcalibur IV has gone gold on the Xbox 360 and PS3 and will arrive in retail stores on July 29. Set to redefine the fighting genre this installment sees you taking control of an expanded roster of warriors from around the galaxy in their unrelenting search for the Soul Edge and Soul Calibur swords. Soulcalibur IV will also play host to a bevy of special characters including legendary Star Wars icons Master Yoda for the Xbox 360, Darth Vader for the PS3, and appearing on both platforms, Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice from LucasArt’s hotly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Adding to the mythos, Soulcalibur IV will also include a number of special characters designed by famous Japanese manga artists and character designers.

Namco Bandai have slaved over hot computers for a very long time to bring us Soul Calibur IV. The creative team behind the game have been known to go on a bit about how this version would represent a major evolution in the beat-em-up game genre. The inclusion of iconic combatants such as Darth Vader and Master Yoda would certainly indicate the aspirations of the team but tragically, or oddly at least, Yoda and Darth are unable to duke it out at any stage whatsoever in the current version of the game! Fans of the series will no doubt instantly recognise a number of familiar characters, along with a selection of new ones, but most notable of these are the aforementioned Stars Wars characters.
