Not much to say about this one yet, but they have said its set 17 years after Soul Calibur IV. Aside from that it seems Sophitia's son will be in this game, possibly replacing her.
So it seems they're trying to age out some of the characters, save for possibly the ones whose blood was tainted by the Soul Edge - gotta have a reason to keep Cervantes, Nightmare, Sigfreid, Astartoth and Ivy around. Yoshimitsu would just be there anyway.
This also means playing as Talim (and whatshername, Raphael's apprentice) won't make you feel like a creepy pedo now, though I'm sure there will be a new jailbait character to make up for that.
I guess aging most of the cast out is one way of fixing the rampant problems of SCIII and SCIV, though really, all they had to do was pick up where SCII Arcade Version F left off, fix that Astaroth reach glitch and go from there improving things rather than trying to fix what wasn't broken.
Project Soul did not confirm or deny the existence of guest characters, though really, I wish they'd stop doing that crap. If you're gonna do it, don't do exclusive character based on the platform. Just do characters that would appear on any of them.
