That means that SoulCalibur V is ABY 14.Īlthough the game lacks arcade mode endings for some ungodly reason, it does have a story mode. For one, the story specifically takes place 17 years after the last game, giving us a new generation of warriors and older versions of classic characters. This sadly did not feature any Star Wars characters, but it does give a lot of reference. I’d say that would probably mean that SoulCalibur IV takes place 3 BBY. This took place during Galen’s adventures in slaying Jedi, presumably early on since this was his introduction as a character ( SoulCalibur IV came out before Force Unleashed). All of them were drawn in by the power of the Soul Edge and SoulCalibur, which were for some reason attuned to the Force. The trio of Darth Vader, Yoda, and Galen were brought into the plot due to rifts in space that allowed them to show up on Earth. When SoulCalibur IV hit, they decided to throw a bunch of guest characters in there. Then there’s the SoulCalibur sword, which is the yin to its yang and for some reason doesn’t have a space in it. Sure, it’ll eat your soul away and spread evil across the land, but you’ll also be smiting your enemies with a giant, crooked, demonic broadsword with eyeballs all over it. The story revolves around a sword that is kind of like the One Ring from Lord of the Rings, only it’s actually useful in battle. The Soul Edge/ Soul Blade/ SoulCaliburseries is a collection of fighting games that takes place several centuries ago in the times of samurais, ninjas, knights, pirates, cranky men with owl heads, etc. A tale of souls and swords eternally retold.


A franchise transcending history and the world. For that we must take a trip to another franchise.
