The official Bandai Namco Esports Twitter account announced a new world tour for SoulCalibur VI. This one will be for SoulCalibur VI, the latest entry in the long-running 3-D fighter. Details are sparse at the moment, but we know that the first event will be Evo Japan 2020, which is scheduled to start on January 23. We can expect the SCWT to operate similarly to other professional tours, with sponsored events around the globe and a prize pool awaiting the winners. As those details become public, we’ll report on them here. In the meantime, you can see the original tweet below.
