Nier: Automata's 2B is heading to SoulCalibur VI

Putting weird guest characters in their games has become something of a trademark for Bandai Namco and its SoulCalibur series. The newest entry in the series, SoulCalibur VI, sports a visit from the hunky hero from the Witcher games, namely Geralt of Rivia.

Now, in a new trailer, Bandai Namco has revealed the next guest to make an appearance in the game, and it's none other than 2B from Nier: Automata. She will be playable in Versus mode, Arcade mode and Online matches, and fights with two swords, Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty. Naturally, her fighting style is more attuned to machines, with acrobatics, evasions and coordinated strikes. She comes with her own stage, music and customisable elements.
