Now, the stage of history is truly complete.

If you were expecting a certain pair of bonus characters to get left out of the fun, it appears Namco Bandai Games Europe has confirmed Spawn and Heihachi will return in the upcoming Soul Calibur II HD Online release, currently in development for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. Soul Calibur II has been considered one of the most definitive editions among the diehard fanbase, however, it remains to be seen if it will attract a new generation of players. The game will retain all the trademark elements from the original release, developed by Project Soul, the internal team at Namco Bandai Studios, including several new online modes (i.e. player and ranked options) to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the franchise.

Look for SoulCalibur II HD Online to drop this Fall via Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
