Katsuhiro Harada waltzed onto the stage of The Game Awards 2017 in a dramatic fashion tonight. Alongside a translator, he debuted a greatly anticipated new game for a series that wasn't Tekken.

Soulcalibur VI, the first numbered entry in the series since Soulcalibur V in 2012, will be released sometime in 2018. You can see the short trailer for the new game below. Tekken 7, Harada's most recent game, released earlier this year.
