Set seventeen years after Soul Calibur IV, Soul Calibur V introduces a number of new characters to the roster and offers new gameplay tweaks and online enhancements.

The story initially focuses on Sophitia's son and Pyrrha's younger brother, Patroklos, after he has grown into a vengeful young warrior recruited by the mysterious Graf Dumas to hunt down and kill the malfested. Patroklos works for Graf under the promise that the noble will be able to help him locate his sister.
