Earlier in 2008, we had reported that Darth Vader as well as Jedi master Yoda would feature in the forthcoming Soul Calibur game. There were speculations that an additional Star Wars character would also make an appearance in Soul Calibur IV.
The Stars War character that will make an appearance in The Secret Apprentice from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. However, The Secret Apprentice, who plays the role of the mysterious force-wielding baddie, will feature in the Xbox 360 as well as the PlayStation 3 version of Soul Calibur IV.
Haden Blackman, Project Lead, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, LucasArts quoted, “The Secret Apprentice is a great fit for Soulcalibur, a franchise known for its over-the-top characters and frenzied fighting action. We are extremely proud to give fighting fans a sneak peek at one of the most intriguing new Star Wars videogame characters in a long time.”
Soul Calibur IV is expected to be out in late July for the Xbox 360 and the PS3. The PS3 version will feature Darth Vader while the Xbox 360 version of Soul Calibur IV will have Jedi master Yoda.
