Soul Calibur IV to release July 29

According to a report at 1up.com, highly anticipated fighter Soul Calibur IV has just received a street date: July 29, 2008. Also announced were the contents of the $79.99 limited edition pack, which include an art book, a t-shirt, and some “exclusive downloadable content”. Exactly what that content will entail is still up in the air (new characters? arenas?).

Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will be able to brawl with the extended roster of fighters (including Yoda and Darth Vader from Star Wars) this summer. I haven’t personally gotten into a Soul Calibur game since the series’ second installment (which famously featured a different special character in each edition), but I’m more than a little curious to see what the addition of fighters from a galaxy far away will do for the title.
