Talim Joins Soul Calibur 6

Originally appearing in Soulcalibur 2, the tonfa wielding Last Priestess of the Winds has reappeared at last, with Bandai Namco releasing a character announcement trailer to show off her return. We haven’t seen her in quite some time, so players will need to brush up on their skills if they want to avoid her elbows once again.

Here’s the official character description from Bandai Namco: “Hailing from the Village of the Wind Deity, a remote island tribe in South-East Asia, Talim was raised as The Last Priestess of the Winds, being the only daughter of the village shaman.

Through this role, Talim learnt the ways of the ceremonial Wind Dance and grew up with the two ancestral elbow blades, Syi Sarika and Loka Luha, used for this sword display. Though trained with the blades as part of the island's ancient ceremonies, Talim's vast mastery of these weapons and control of the very wind itself, provided her with a fighting ability vastly beyond her young years.

She spent her entire life on the island, until the day a stranger arrived in Talim's town carrying a shard of Soul Edge itself. Talim could sense the danger of it just from this small shard and vowed to protect the world by returning it to where it belongs, even if this meant leaving her village and family behind."

The roster of the latest addition to the franchise is steadily growing, with Mitsurugi, Ivy, Kilik, Groh, Sophita, Nightmare, Siegfried, Taki, Yoshimitsu, Xianghua, Maxi, Zasalamel, and guest fighter Geralt of Rivia from the Witcher series all making their presence felt. Soul Calibur 6 is due for release on October 19^th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
