A spin-off Action-Adventure title, Soulcalibur Legends, has been released for the Wii IV has also been ported to the PSP as Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, which guest stars Kratos, the God of War. Soulcalibur has since spawned five sequels, which have been ported to a number of home systems. An epic final battle between the two opposing swords is now fast approaching, with the fate of the world at stake. Now, the shards of Soul Edge are seeking to reunite, oozing corruptive power that bestows misfortune on all who encounter them.

When these two swords first clashed, Soul Edge was shattered into pieces and Soul Calibur fell dormant.

To counter Soul Edge, an opposing sword of light was created: the spirit sword, Soul Calibur. Some warriors seek Soul Edge without knowing the truth, whereas others seek to destroy it or capture its power for themselves. In 16th-century Eurasia, rumours persist of a legendary sword of heroes known only as 'Soul Edge.' Only a few know that Soul Edge is actually an evil Artifact of Doom with an insatiable thirst for human souls. The Soul series (unrelated to the ' Souls Series' note Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne and definitely not related to Soul Reaver) is a series of 3D weapon-based fighting games created by Bandai Namco Entertainment's team Project Soul, arriving shortly after the success of its other 3D fighter, Tekken.
