New Character's Got Soul

Namco's latest arcade fighter Soul Calibur has been in certain arcades now for about a month. As most Tekken 3 fans know, that's about the time when Namco starts releasing the first secret time-released character. Soul Calibur's first time-released character follows a similar pattern and has recently been discovered. Our mystery fighter is Hwang, the tattooed fighter from Soul Edge.

But he isn't just appearing in Soul Calibur machines; he has also popped up on Namco's web site as well.

GameSpot News took these screens of the new playable character in action. Keep checking back for more character updates, and have a look at our Soul Calibur feature for more information on the game.
