2B from NieR: Automata Is Going to Be a Guest Character in SoulCalibur VI

RIP custom 2B characters

by Robert Ramsey Sat 27th Oct 2018

Just announced at Paris Games Week 2018, 2B, of NieR: Automata, is going to join the SoulCalibur VI character roster as DLC. She'll stand alongside Geralt as the title's second guest character. She'll also come with her own stage.

There's no date for 2B just yet, but the above trailer does say that she'll be made available "soon".

Is 2B a good choice? Shed a tear for all those custom-made 2B characters in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

Oh hell yes.

Looks like I'm getting the season pass for the game. Legit 2B is worth it.

Meh the game didn't impress me that much tbh and she looks slow in the trailer.

@FullbringIchigo Come on Nariko would be the perfect fit. 😃

Makes sense. With all the custom 2B characters, it seems Namco Bandai anticipated well that she would be the perfect guest character. Still don’t like that you have to pay extra for it. ☹️

Bad @$$! I love that they're adding official, properly-proportioned 2B to the game.

Ugh 2 guests? what about the actual SC characters that are getting passed over? Glad I couldn't find a copy with the season pass then.

@Ryu_Niiyama They said the dlc has 4 characters. Tira, 2 old characters and a second guest. So it seems the guest comes first but the next 2 characters are for sure from old games

@Flaming_Kaiser true, very true but doesn't Ninja Theory own her and with them now owned by MS there is little chance of her being in it unless it was as a XB1 exclusive character
