About Soulcalibur
Soulcalibur VI retells the early part of the saga, so release order and story order are different lists. This play order covers every main game in release order first, then rearranges the story into order for players who want the tale of souls and swords straight through.
Good to know
Soulcalibur VI (2018) is a reboot that retells the era of Soul Edge and the first Soulcalibur, which is why it sits last in release order but near the front in story order. No new series entry has been announced, so the story list below ends with Soulcalibur V.
