SoulCalibur 6, the hotly anticipated latest addition to the popular fighting game franchise, will be testing out their network later this month in anticipation of the games worldwide release next month. Players will have the chance to get their hands on the game and some of the fighters and battle it out in Ranked Match mode as they test connections and servers.
The network test will start at 8am PDT on September 28th and will finish on September 30th at 8pm PDT. The client for the game will become available to download at 8am PDT on September 27th, so players have the chance to pre-load the game.
Warriors, prepare yourself for online battles on PS4 & X1! You are invited to help us test our online network for SOULCALIBUR VI. Login and play RANKED MATCH mode!

During this beta, players will be able to battle it out on nine different stages, with fifteen different characters, including a couple extra that weren’t playable at E3 earlier this year. Right now, the beta / network test is only available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users, with PC fans having to wait just a little bit longer to get their hands on the action.
We’ve already seen a ton of popular characters making their way into SoulCalibur 6, including the latest announcement about the much-anticipated return of Raphael. We’re also hoping to see more information on the game when Bandai Namco take to the main stage at the Tokyo Game Show on Saturday, September 22nd. You can catch all the action from Bandai Namco’s official YouTube and Twitch channels, here.
Which other characters would you like to see make it into the game, and which characters are you hoping to try out in the upcoming beta / network test? Let us know in the comments below, and we’ll see you on the field of battle.
