Soul Calibur 6 may see more returning fighters as DLC, according to datamined files

As reported, earlier t𝔉his month Soul Calibur 6 players poked around the game's files and found entries suggesting fan-favorite fighters Cassand🌱ra and Amy will be added in upcoming DLC. Well, the list of rumored Soul Calibur 6 DLC fighters recently expanded to eight thanks to Twitter user and 8wayrun forum user , who dug up six new files which may also point to incoming characters. 

According to Autumn, the six new entries were added last week with the release of . Per Koenji's Twitter post, these entries are listed below the ones for Cassandra and Amy, which supports Autumn's claim. They're also formatted the same way, and all eight of them mirror the entries for the game's existing characters. Additionally, these entries are labeled "DLC2" through "DLC8," and are listed after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DLC fighter 2B - that's Nier: Automata'🍰s 2B - which lines up with speculation that these are 𒁃DLC characters.

The thing is, while 2B, Cassandra, and Amy are all called out by name, the six newest entries are listed under what appear to be code names. Those are: Stone, Yell, Star, S♛now, Reptile, and Yellow. In replies to Koenji's Twitter post, fans have speculated that the names Stone and Reptile respectively refer to Rock, the rhino-headed fighter from Soul Edge, and Aeon Calcos, the lizardman from the original ꦅSoul Calibur. Reptile could also just be the regular ol' Lizardman fighter. These are pretty literal assumptions, but they do make sense. As for some of the more cryptic entries, some players believe Snow may be a reference to Soul Calibur 3's Setsuka, whose Japanese name contains the kanji for 'snow.' 

This is all unconfirmed information, but there is a pretty solid pattern to it. You know the drill: grain of salt, hold out hope, but don't bet the farm🌠 on this. 

This has been a good month for datamined fighting game characters: a few weeks ago, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans found files pointing to a Dragon Quest DLC character.
