SOULCALIBUR VI Steam Cheie GLOBAL

Soulcalibur 6 is in a way a remake of the original Soulcalibur released in 1998 for video arcades. The game tells the story of the legendary sword, "Soul Edge". In 16^th century Spanish pirate Cervantes de Leon acquired the sword and along with it remained dormant within the ruins of a port town somewhere in Spain feeding off of souls of those, who reached his lair in search of the Soul Edge. When he gathered enough strength and was about to take over the world, two brave warriors – Sophitia from Greece and Japanese ninja Taki – slew him and shattered one of the twin Soul Edge blades. The blade was all but destroyed and by its magic brought Cervantes back to life to make him fight a German knight Siegfried, who appeared at the port town.

Siegfried won, however after reaching for the Soul Edge he got consumed by its evil. The act released a pillar of light into the sky, „The Evil Seed”, which would bring the destruction of the world, and turned Siegfried into monstrous Nightmare – sword’s new host. Three years later, Europe is in turmoil. The Soul Edge-possessed Siegfried claims more souls to feed the blade. However, a group of warriors decides to take matters into their own hands and embark on a journey to stop the Soul Edge and Nightmare once and for all.
