Bandai Namco Entertainment announced today that 2B, the lead character of the popular game by Square Enix called NieR: Automata, will be joining the roster of Soulcalibur VI as a DLC character.
YoRHa No. 2 Type B, or 2B for shorts, will bring her dual blades, Virtuous Contract & Virtuous Treaty to the fight, and will employ acrobatic leaps and mid-air slashes, lightning-fast evasions and perfectly coordinated strikes to fight her opponents.
