Is Kratos coming to the Soul Calibur universe? - Image 1Do you see those twin Blades of Chaos? They're apparently coming to slice you up on the PS3 in more ways than one. We've received word of yet another Kratos-inspired rumor, this time linking the demigod of war to SoulCalibur 4 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360).

That's right. In the latest issue of EGM, the Quartermann rumors section has a quick ditty about the possibility of Kratos making it to the SoulCalibur universe. As you can probably guess, the rumor cites him as a PS3 exclusive.

To put it simply, and without malice towards the Star Wars fans out there, Kratos seems like a much better fit than Yoda or Darth Vader for the SoulCalibur universe. For one thing, his Blades of Chaos are actually made of metal and not laser light (or whatever the heck those things project).

Furthermore, he seems like the perfect ruthless entity to carry on the power of the Soul Edge; seeing as he's already godly, for lack of a better term, why not give him some all-powerful chain blades to go along with his person?

In any event, this is still a rumor, but boy... isn't it a lovely one? Keep checking QJ for updates on this rumor.

 » can see it

they might do it as a add-on. since snake and nathan drake don't really use swords i don't thnk that would happen. and ratchet would be a alittle cartoonish for the series.

 » they had link at one time

so i give them a lil ray of hope for ratchet, lol snake could use his knife and gun, he can do some fun lil combos

 » konami people

i dont think konami would lend snake to namco bandai.

capcom characters are more likely to appear than konami's.

would be sick.

 » Hmmm...

I think, now this is just my personal opinion, that Kratos would be more suited for Mortal Combat, since his game is supremely violent, but I'm more of a Soulcaibur fan so this, I would love so much!

Begin a Sony 1st Party character, that's why Kratos will or would fit perfectly in Soul Calibur 4, and it would rock the PS3
version of the game, sorry xbox fan.
You guys will never experience the excitement that Kratos brought the PS2, PSP and now PS3.
PS3 exclusive, that's 4sure right there!!

SONY ROCKS!

 » Perfect

He would own in SC4, he could be a secret boss or something :)

 » Um....

Just so you know, Kratos is no longer a God, but has the Blade of Olympus where his powers was drained.

Still I don't believe he will make it, cause SC4 should be complete right about now so its going to be difficult to add him in, unless its going DLC.
