What SoulCalibur II HD Online is

SoulCalibur II HD Online is a fighting game developed by Project Soul and released in 2013. It was published by Namco Bandai Games. It is available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The game is set four years after the end of Soulcalibur, which puts the game's story in the year 1590 AD. The wave of slaughters that terrorized Europe reached a sudden end. The knight in azure armor, Nightmare, and his followers were successful in collecting enough souls and were about to start the restoration ceremony on the ruins of the once-proud Osthreinsburg Castle. But just as the ceremony was to start, three young warriors assaulted the castle. In a matter of time the cult was defeated and Nightmare stood in front of the young warriors wielding Soul Edge. After an intense battle Nightmare fell, but then the evil soul inside Soul Edge sent the young warriors into a vortex of hellfire…
