* The fact that this game exists is a [=CMoA=] in and of itself. Picture this: it's December 2017, nearly six years since ''VideoGame/SoulcaliburV'' released, and many have declared the series dead after ''Lost Swords'' and ''Pachinko'' on top of the last game being polarzing to the fanbase, and as such very few people are still expecting a comeback from the series. Then, at the 2017 Game Awards, fighting game icon and ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' boss Katsuhiro Harada steps out alongside a then-completely unknown Motohiro Okubo. Most would assume it's a new ''Tekken'' announcement, perhaps an update for ''Tekken 7'' or maybe the {{Vaporware}} ''Tekken X Franchise/StreetFighter''. And then, after Harada finishes speaking, Okubo delivers five simple words that will set the fandom ablaze: '''''[[WhamLine Do your souls still burn?]]'''''
* The general score on Metacritic according to the reviews that are counted? '''84'''. To put it in perspective, that's more than almost ''any'' fighting game this generation!
* Though the official sales numbers haven't yet been revealed, it's off to a good start. The game topped the Steam sales chart in its launch. That is a very rare feat for a fighting game, and especially one that hasn't even ''been'' on PC before.
* According to data-tracking website [=SteamSpy=], the game has sold within the realms of ''200,000 to 500,000'' in '''one day''', and that's just on PC. For comparison, ''Soulcalibur V'' took much longer to get to that range on both the [=PlayStation=] 3 and Xbox 360 combined!
* The GuestFighter selection for the ''Soul'' series is generally agreed to be hit or miss, dating back the feature's inception in ''Soulcalibur II'' [[note]]if one doesn't count Yoshimitsu in ''Calibur'' as a carryover from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', though later games would make them more distinct entities[[/note]]. Sometimes [[JustHereForGodzilla it worked]] ([[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] in ''II'', [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] in ''Broken Destiny'', [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Ezio]] in ''V''), sometimes it didn't (ComicBook/{{Spawn}} and arguably [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Heihachi]] in ''II'', the ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters in ''IV''), sometimes it was glossed over due to obscurity ([[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Lloyd]] in ''Legends''), and once it didn't happen at all (''III'' [[note]]not counting the [[VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} KOS-MOS]] costume parts for custom characters[[/note]]). For ''VI'', Project Soul decided to go all out with the inclusion of Franchise/TheWitcher himself, Geralt of Rivia. And just when it seemed it couldn't get better, shortly after release, another guest character was announced: [[VideoGame/NierAutomata 2B]]!
* ''Soulcalibur VI'' sold over a million units after a month since release, faster and more than most fighting games get in their lifetime, and quickly outpacing ''Soulcalibur V'' in the process. Namco stated in their financial report that the game was successful, as in, the same game they had to be ''convinced'' to allow into existence. Getting into [[UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity EVO 2019]] on the main stage, over competitor ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive6'', was just icing on the cake.
* The announcement at EVO 2019, where Okubo describes "the end of a journey", making it seem as though the game is ceasing support. A video is shown as a "thank you" to the fans...and the end of the journey turns out to be the end of ''Season 1''. A 2nd season was announced, with brand new balance, moves, system mechanics, and 4 new characters. One of those 4 is another guest character. Who could possibly be just as exciting as the likes of Geralt and 2B? '''[[VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Haohmaru]].'''
** Doubling as a Heartwarming moment, Okubo stated after Season 2 was announced that originally, there wasn't even going to ''be'' a Season 2. The love and support of the fans along with the aforementioned successful sales numbers, however, were enough to show that the series was worth investing into once again.
** And to add up the awesome is the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5MKioQ84Gw EVO 2020 reveal trailer]]'' where Haohmaru gets to face a most proper opponent: Mitsurugi, who is also based on [[UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi the same man]] Haohmaru is inspired from.

* Mitsurugi, an ordinary samurai warrior from 16th Century Japan, is able to fight ''[[SuperSoldier Geralt of Rivia]]'', a magically-augmented monster slayer MagicKnight who can [[SuperStrength cleave an armoured man in half with a single stroke of his sword]], to a ''draw''. Geralt actually considers him a WorthyOpponent after this meeting, and due to how magic and dimensional travel works in ''The Witcher'', it is very possible that this encounter is ''canon''.

* Details surrounding the exact sequence of events at Ostrheinsburg Castle in the original ''Soulcalibur'' are somewhat vague, but generally depict Kilik and Xianghua teaming up to defeat Nightmare, followed by Krita-Yuga revealing itself as Soul Calibur to aid Xianghua in her battle with Inferno. Things progress somewhat differently here, but the end results are no less satisfying. After being shown the way to Ostrheinsburg's great hall by Grøh, Xianghua ends up being sidelined during Kilik's fight due to a previous leg injury. Meanwhile, Kilik staves off Soul Edge's corrupting influence on his body and Kali-Yuga, turning down Nightmare's offer to work for him with [[ScrewDestiny "I'll carve... my own fate!"]] He proceeds to surprise the Azure Knight by not only holding his own in combat, but actually triumphing.

* The general score on Metacritic according to the reviews that are counted? '''84'''. To put it in perspective, that's more than almost ''any'' fighting game this generation!
* Though the official sales numbers haven't yet been revealed, it's off to a good start. The game topped the Steam sales chart in its launch. That is a very rare feat for a fighting game, and especially one that hasn't even ''been'' on PC before.
* According to data-tracking website [=SteamSpy=], the game has sold within the realms of ''200,000 to 500,000'' in '''one day''', and that's just on PC. For comparison, ''Soulcalibur V'' took much longer to get to that range on both the [=PlayStation=] 3 and Xbox 360 combined!
