Sony hat nun offiziell über www.playstation.co.uk
bekannt gegeben, dass man sich die Rechte zu Soul Calibur 3 von EA (Electronic Arts) errungen hat und nun die weltweiten Nutzungsrechte besitzt. Damit wird Sony Computer Entertainment nicht nur Publisher in allen Territorien für Soul Calibur 3 sein, sondern damit wird es auch definitiv keine Umsetzung für ein nicht Sony-System geben.
"Playstation.co.uk": One of the biggest and best beat 'em up games around is set to return to PS2 (and only PS2) this October. Wrestling the massive series from the grasp of Electronic Arts, our very own Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) will be publishing Soul Calibur III exclusively on our beloved console. What's more, Sony has the worldwide rights, so you won't see SCIII on any other console... anywhere... ever (unless we eventually see a PSP version, of course).
Das sagt Namco zu der Exklusivität:
