Damn, that's some badass box art. Spotted by the omnipresent Wario64 on Twitter, Amazon's posted up the box art for SoulCalibur VI. Interestingly, it goes for artwork that includes both series veteran Mitsurugi and newly revealed guest character Geralt of Rivia. Yes, that's the grizzled bloke from The Witcher -- you can see his reveal trailer through here.
Of course, there is a chance that this box art isn't final, but still, it's pretty darn cool, isn't it? The weird thing is, we don't usually get box art until a game has a release date or at least a release window. All we know about SoulCalibur VI is that it's set to launch this year, but it's starting to seem like it may be closer than we think. Here's hoping we get a confirmed date soon, then.
What do you think of the box art? Who do you think would win in a test of steel? Clash in the comments section below.

I've always been a Mitsurugi main in SoulCalibur and to see him next to Geralt — a character I consider to be one of the best in gaming — is crazy. Personally couldn't ask for more from the box art!
I guess this means Geralt will be the only guest character. I'm not complaining though. Never played Witcher, but he's a great fit for the series!
Pretty cool!
hot damn!
@gamerphil07 I was thinking it's a bit weird that he was announced so early when we don't even have half of the roster confirmed yet. Usually guest character reveals are saved for last, or at least later on.
That kind of makes me think there might be another guest character involved. But agreed, I think Geralt is a great fit either way. I'd be happy with just him.
@ShogunRok I'm hoping in my heart for a Bloodborne hunter as a PS4 exclusive, but I'm not going to set high expectations this early on. Also, with the success of Tekken 7's guest characters, I could see DLC guests coming in the future.
@gamerphil07 For sure, guest characters as DLC is a good shout.
Were is my waifu 2B :c
Mitsu player here, so happy to see him on the cover.
I'm definitely getting this Witcher fighting game, I don't remember that guy on the left from The Witcher 3, maybe The Bloody Baron from his younger days but never mind. Can you play as Yennefer too?
Looks pretty good.
Maybe they should've just put a pic of Ivy's chest covering the whole boxart to get more people to buy it.
i never actually got SCV but i'm actually getting interested in this one
@Deadlyblack Or her bum. You know you have to appease both types of men.
Mitsurugi vs Nioh's Willliam, woo! (I can hope.)
@fontainelefunk William's actually a pretty cool shout. Would be nice but I can't see him being in now that Geralt is. Not one, but two grizzled, grey-haired, hardened warriors? Might be one too many.
@themcnoisy Ha, they can put that on the rear of the case. Boom, it'll be voted best art box art of the decade.
Honestly sad to see Geralt dragged into this kind of marketing shenanigans
Should have been Cervantes
🤢
Bit disappointed personally, wish it had more colourful. Though the concept is cool.
