SOULCALIBUR®: BROKEN DESTINY IS NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PLAYSTATION®STORE

The Tale of Souls and Swords Makes its Digital Distribution Debut to Coincide with the Launch of PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) go

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (Oct. 1, 2009) – NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., today announced that SOULCALIBUR^®: Broken Destiny is now available for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) go through the PlayStation®Network.  SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny is the first handheld iteration in the series that can be played anytime and anywhere.  Exciting new gameplay modes, a more robust character customization feature, and a diverse roster of warriors make this a must-have for any fighting game fan. 

Originally released in September 2009 for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny preserves all the fierce brawls and gorgeous visuals the franchise has been known to deliver. With a vast roster of fighters, players can battle as one of many returning favorites or use the robust character customization feature to create a personalized warrior. Also new combatants have entered the ring for more blistering intense challenges including special guest character Kratos, from Sony Computer Entertainment America’s critically revered God of War^® franchise.

Adding depth to the combat, an all new single player Trials mode has been specifically created for the PSP system that not only tests a gamer’s reflexes but also improves their skills. Annihilating the competition has never been so satisfying as finely tuned and enriched battle mechanics can be used to unleash devastating combos. In addition, players can further develop their basic fighting skills and fine-tune advanced techniques with more than 80 exercise missions or practice in the vigorous Training mode.  Let the trash talking commence as SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny allows gamers to engage in local wireless battles by challenging a friend using the PSP system’s ad hoc networking

SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny is rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB and is now available for download at the PlayStation®Store for $39.99. For more information, please visit www.namcobandaigames.com or www.soulcalibur.com.
