Namco BANDAI has announced the release date for the upcoming SoulCalibur II HD Online and it’s coming in the middle of the “next-gen madness”. I don’t even mean that in a good way, I’m saying it in a confused and puzzled way but I don’t set the release dates, I simply report on them.
Here’s the the usual press release.
Developed by PROJECT SOUL, the elite development team at NAMCO BANDAI Studios, SOULCALIBUR II HD Online reimagines the beloved title by adding online multiplayer support to the title as well as vibrant updated graphics to take advantage of modern high definition TVs. Heralded as one of the best fighting games of all-time, SOULCALIBUR II returns to consoles this year with crisp new high definition graphics and all-new online modes in celebration for its 10 year anniversary. Fans will also be pleased as the two legendary heroes, SPAWN and HEIHACHI, originally exclusive guest characters for each platform, will be for the first time ever playable on both platforms, Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3.
SoulCalibur II HD Online will be out on November 20th. It’s €18.99/£13.49 on Xbox Live Arcade and €18.99/£14.99 on PlayStation Network.
I have no idea what the reasoning behind the higher than expected price tag is but if there’s any game that can get away with it, it’s SoulCalibur II 
Spoken like a true fanboy, I know.
