The latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly confirms that Soul Caliber IV will be online capable on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
What's changed this time round is that the next-gen platforms have network infrastructure already in place," says SoulCalibur IV drector Katsutoshi Sasaki. "We've heard from fans that they really want the game to be online, so we figured that, with the current environment, we really couldn't make SC4 without online play."
If the developers at Namco Bandai succeed, SoulCalibur IV's network infrastructure will allow fast-paced action without the lag issues that plague some other online-enabled brawlers.
Sasaki also mentioned that character customization from SoulCalibur III will be back for the sequel and that customizable characters will be available during online play. The team is unsure, however, whether or not to allow trading of customized characters.
