Talim, the Last Priestess of the Winds, is returning to the SoulCalibur roster for another bout in the next installment of the dramatic sword fighting game series.
She first appeared in SoulCalibur II alongside her signature dual elbow blades and Wind Dance style. She became a staple before being dropped for in fifth installment in 2012. Her inclusion brings SoulCalibur Vl‘s total roster to 14.
One of these 12 fighters includes Geralt of Rivia, a guest character on loan from the Witcher series of video games by CD PROJEKT RED. He was revealed back in March. Bandai Namco plans to release four more characters after the game releases this October as part of a season pass.
Talim hails from the Village of the Wind Deity. The only daughter of the village shaman, she was raised and trained to fight with twin ancestral elbow blades, Syi Sarika and Loka Luha. Talim’s compliments her weapon skills with magical wind powers.
Unlike most characters in the Soulcalibur series, Talim is not based on Japanese or European imagery. The priestess was created to bring some variety into the series.
Soulcalibur VI will launch for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on Oct. 19.
