Namco Hometek announced today that SOULCALIBUR III has gone gold for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. The latest chapter in the classic tale of souls and swords, SOULCALIBUR III is scheduled for release in stores on October 25th.

The acclaimed series’ latest addition, SOULCALIBUR III thrusts players into the story of two legendary swords -- Soul Calibur and Soul Edge -- and the fighters engaged in the epic battle between these powerful blades. Three all-new characters -- Zasalamel, Tira and Setsuka -- join the classic fighters embroiled in the struggle, for a total of more than 25 playable characters. The weapons-based battles take place against a backdrop of gorgeous all-new stages, from a shrine in Greece to a castle in Germany.

SOULCALIBUR III incorporates a groundbreaking new character creation system that allows players to draw from their imaginations and assemble an infinite variety of fighters, taking into account gender, physical appearance, fight style and all-new weapons for the created characters. Players may lead their created character through real-time strategy battles in The Chronicles of the Sword mode; battle through a variety of special conditions that take an interesting spin on traditional SOULCALIBUR-style fighting in Soul Arena mode; prepare for battles by training in the Practice mode; or visit Museum mode to view everything that they’ve unlocked in the game.
