A spin-off Action-Adventure title, Soulcalibur Legends, has been released for the Wii IV has also been ported to the PSP as Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, which guest stars Kratos, the God of War. Starting from II, the series would begin making use of Guest Fighter characters from other franchises, most notably Link, Darth Vader, Yoda, and Ezio Auditore, among others. Soulcalibur has since spawned five sequels, which have been ported to a number of home systems. It is often placed among game critics' "favorite games of all time". The Dreamcast port of the game rebalanced the gameplay and overhauled the graphics, becoming its system's Killer App in the process. Soul Edge, though mildly successful in arcades (and on the PlayStation as Soul Blade), was largely overshadowed by Soulcalibur, which revamped many of the original game's aspects, including the three-dimensional movement, character combos, and timing, and completely removed the breakable weapon aspect.

Only a few know that Soul Edge is actually an evil Artifact of Doom with an insatiable thirst for human souls. In 16th-century Eurasia, rumors persist of a legendary sword of heroes known only as "Soul Edge".
