Soul Calibur VI, the latest installment in Bandai Namco's legendary fighting game series, is known for bringing in some unique guest characters.

Back in Soul Calibur II, players received one of three different characters depending on what console they chose: Link (Gamecube), Spawn (Xbox) and Heihachi (PlayStation 2). The series has continued this practice since, offering players some interesting choices to choose from.

Soul Calibur IV brought Star Wars characters into the universe, giving players the options of Yoda, Darth Vader and "Starkiller" Galen Marek. Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed II joined the fray in Soul Calibur V, and Soul Calibur VI brought the legendary Witcher himself, Geralt of Rivia.

Adding in games like Legends and Broken Destiny that brought in Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia and Kratos from God of War, along with those you could create via "Create-A-Soul," the series has always tried to bring in characters that would attract players not already fans of the series.

The latest pick for Bandai Namco is the protagonist of NieR: Automata, 2B.

2B had been announced months ago, but Soul Calibur fans were surprised to see her make her way to the game so soon. Bandai Namco EU revealed the news on December 13th via their Twitter page.

Players will be able to pick up 2B, her stage, music and alternate costume on December 18th.

2B was the second character included in Soul Calibur VI's season pass, joining Tira. Bandai Namco revealed that the season pass would include four characters, featuring music and whatever else may come with them, and two customization sets.
