Namco Banbais Soul Calibur IV trak i går store overskrifter på CES 2008, da det blev kendt, at Darth Vader & Yoda optræder som figurer i spillet. Nu kan Ubi Soft oplyse, at de har sikret sig distributionsrettighederne i Europa og spillet derfor vil blive udgivet under Ubi Soft fanerne i løbet af sommeren. Vi håber så bare at Ubi Soft vil være i stand til at levere spillet til anmeldelse før og ikke efter udgivelsen, som de har haft for vane (se bl.a. forsinket Assassin’s Creed anmeldelse senere i dag). Vi oprettede et Soul Calibur galleri i går, hvor du kan se lige godt 50 screenshots.
