First Ever Screenshots of The Next Chapter of Soul Calibur!  08.22.2001 05:35PM 

Namco has shown off The Next Chapter of Soul Calibur, and now all of you lovely people can see it! By looking at the pictures, we can tell that Astaroth, Taki, Seigfried and Sophitia have returned to the roster. I'm not too sure about the guy with the sword in the first picture. I'm guessing he's either Hwang or a totally new character.

What's surprising about the screenshots is that they seemingly show what might be a totally game altering feature for the series; enclosed environments. Each screenshot seem to suggest that combat may be enclosed in arenas similar to Tekken 4.

Anyways, check them out yourself! Please keep in mind that these are very early shots of the game, and that it is also running on Namco's System 246 arcade hardware.
