The Soul Still Burns!

According to Gamepro, The fighting game gods over at Namco have just announced that Soul Calibur 3 is coming. The third installment of this popular weapon-based fighter will be exclusive to PS2, and will have 25 characters, three of which will be totally new. The most intriguing bit of news though is that there will be a Character Edit mode which will let players create their own fighter. REALLY? A create-your-own-character option from one of the big boys in fighting games? We'll see how this works out. The US version of SC3 is slated for a late 2005 release.
