Namco Bandai Games has crossed over to the Dark Side of the Force by announcing a Star Wars expanded universe character will appear in Soul Calibur IV for PS3 and Xbox 360.
Joining the ranks of Yoda and Darth Vader as a playable character will be the “Secret Apprentice” from LucasArts’ upcoming PS3 and Xbox 360 game/even, The Force Unleashed.
“The Secret Apprentice is a great fit for Soulcalibur, a franchise known for its over-the-top characters and frenzied fighting action,” said Haden Blackman, project lead for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed at LucasArts. “We’re extremely proud to give fighting fans a sneak peek at one of the most intriguing new Star Wars videogame characters in a long time.”
