Is it really fake? I saw it on TouchArcade which is pretty big, and a google search reveals other sites with the trailer. But then again, fake trailers have spread on big websites before.
 
Now that I think about it, wouldn't there have been a press release or something if this wasn't fake?

Well we do have this trademark by Bandai Namco:

So Soul Calibur: Unbreakable Soul is definitely a real title.

It is fake I can't believe I didn't remember the font it was on a trailer that was made for april fools some time ago that I saw on 8wayrun.

Hm, sorry for posting fake news then, although it is sad that me and several people fell for it. It really shows the state of gaming companies these days when things like it are actually... believable?

The game Unbreakable Soul is real and it will be a mobile release. That is all the info Namco's released on it so far.

The trailer OTOH is fake.

Confirmation that Bandai Namco intends for it to be a mobile title:

"Bandai Namco Unveils Upcoming Slate of Mobile Games at Global Gamers Day 2014, Including Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+

Also on tap for the future from Namco include a game called Soul Calibur: Unbreakable Soul, though no details are available for it at all beyond the name. TNA 2, a head-to-head wrestling game based on the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling organization, is expected later this year."

OK, so here's a play by play.

Last year, Namco trademarked Soul Calibur: Unbreakable Soul. The faker put together this trailer, released in January, which claims it's a PS3/Xbox 360 game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VMoiVEArsg

Yesterday, Namco officially announced Soul Calibur: Unbreakable Soul for mobile. The faker quickly put together this newest trailer, which now claims it's for PS3, 360, and mobile. He or she added the "mobile" part after Namco announced it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bajcSrspdxA

The game is real; these trailers are fake.

Lots of fun blurbs in the faker's other YouTube descriptions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3zvnXxw8FY "Will you be capable of beat giant skeletons?"

Clarification does not help the feels I'm feeling. :'(

Project Soul, the team behind the Soulcalibur games, is producing a new Soulcalibur title for mobile, named Soulcalibur: Unbreakable Soul. The game was announced during Bandai Namco’s Global Gamer’s Day, but no other details have been shared aside from the game’s logo.

This is the same logo that's teased at the end of the video:

If this is a fake trailer, there is certainly dedication put into it.

Fucking Namco. It's trying its hardest to murder it's best FG IP.

The Soul Blade/Soul Calibur series has never been popular, unlike Tekken (aside from Soul Calibur II). That's why Namco had to keep getting guest characters in order to get people to buy the games, etc.
 
PS3/360 announcements feel so pointless now after the swift adoption of current-gen.

I can't help but laugh.

Enough of this bullshit. You bought a new-gen console; here's a fucking cookie. Meanwhile the millions of people who own a PS360 will keep enjoying great games.

No idea what's going on in that trailer. Seems like a joke that doesn't work.

You mean like they did in SC2?

I'd bet there are other games that "aren't popular" that would love about every entry to sell 2million+.
 
There does indeed seem to be sufficient evidence that the YouTube channel---and corresponding videos---are fake.

Since all that seems to be official by Bandai Namco are the game's name, its confirmation for mobile platforms, and this logo:

...anything else is baseless speculation at this point.

Ctrl+C is dedication few can muster.

SCV outsold TTT2.

I'm pretty sure both SCII and SCIV outsold Tekken, so your claim is invalid.

This may be a little off-topic from the thread, but everyone on Neogaf seems to have accurate sales numbers for every game. Where do you guys get them from?

Again, because of guest characters. Main reason why the Gamecube version of SC II sold very well was because of Link, while the Xbox version sold very poorly.

Namco never had to depend on guest characters for Tekken, because those games have always sold well (aside from TTT2).

Right? It's getting pretty annoying in every thread that has a newly announced 360/PS3 title. The announcement of the newest Borderlands was particularly terrible for this reason.

Are you seriously claiming that the guest character Ezio was what made SCV outpace TTT2?

SC2 was the first multiplatform release for SC. The PS2 versions outsold the GC version.

Fact is SC's been performing consistently well vs Tekken for years now tot he point that Harada's forced to cite tekken's better "lifetime sales" as an excuse to blow off SC. He can't cite a recent Tekken release at all.

Oh come on, Harada helped to get Soul Calibur V made.
