The first main story is centered around the character of Kilik as he ventures out to confront the Soul Edge and Nightmare and takes place mostly in Europe. In this mode, the story is told similar to a visual novel with illustrated, voiced cut scenes telling the plot and are broken up by matches acting as significant battles in-story. The Soul Chronicle is the main plot of the story, concerning the main characters and the immediate threat of Nightmare. In addition, the story is divided into two separate modes. The plot of Soulcalibur VI begins from a remake of the second Soul game entry, taking place from 1583 to 1590. It takes place after the events of Soulcalibur V (which is during the Soul Chronicles of Cassandra, Amy and Zasalamel's stories) where Cassandra from the original timeline tells her past self about the grim future of the Alexandra family, Amy's original future-self is revealed to be Viola, and Zasalamel receives a vision from his future self that causes him to abandon his plan to seek death and decide to lead humanity to a brighter future. Soulcalibur VI serves as a sequel and a reboot to the series, taking place during the 16th century to revisit the events of the first Soulcalibur game/second Soul series game entry to "uncover hidden truths". ^b Downloadable content (number denotes the season in which the respective character is a dlc) DLC Guests are not part of the game's storyline
