If you thought you'd have to wait a while to get your hands on Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, you might be pleasantly surprised by the release date. Namco Bandai have confirmed the Japanese and North American street dates, with the NA date being slightly sooner than what most people might have expected. The game will hit Japanese shelves on August 27. The North American release will be followed less than a week later on September 1. However, there has been no update on a European date.

Yes, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny is coming out this summer. When? August 27 in Japan and September 1 in North America. A representative from Namco Bandai Games America shared the release date with us.

Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny brings the combat system from Soulcalibur IV to the PSP. New features include the sleeve knife wielder Dampierre, God of War icon Kratos, and a single player training mode. The character creation system from Soulcalibur IV also made its way in the game, which now includes clown hand puppets.
