Soulcalibur VI Azwel
Bandai Namco announced an entirely new fighter today for Soulcalibur VI. Unlike many of the previous reveals, this isn't a returning or familiar face.

The newest character is named Azwel and they hail from the "Holy Roman Empire." Alrighty then.
Azwel, born in the Holy Roman Empire, member of the Aval Organization, and wielder of a mysterious weapon called the Palindrome, presents a truly unique foundation for a fighting game character… even for SOULCALIBUR standards.

Blessed with uncanny intelligence and an undying love for humanity, Azwel has researched and studied human history, medicine, war, and art. His journey has led him to conclude that he must assist humanity in overcoming its impending doom. Wielding his Palindrome, a weapon which processes fragments of both the cursed and spirit swords, Azwel can conjure double swords, a giant axe, or a spear & shield, out of thin air during battle. This makes him a formidable opponent as each of his weapon sets present different offensive and defensive tactics for players to use or overcome.

Soulcalibur VI is out on October 19 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
