Soulcalibur is a weapon-based fighting game series by Namco Bandai Games. The series revolves around a sword that, after years of bloodshed and hatred, gained a soul of its own, the Soul Edge, and the sword forged to counter it, Soulcalibur. The discography of the Soulcalibur series consists of two soundtrack albums for the first game in the series, Soul Edge, and one soundtrack album each for Soulcalibur, Soulcalibur II, III, IV, V and VI. None of the other games in the series have received a soundtrack release.
Music from the series was performed by a live orchestra at a concert at the Salle Pleyel in Paris in February 2017.[1]
Super Battle Sound Attack Soul Edge is the soundtrack album for the arcade version of Soul Edge. It was composed by Namco employees Takayuki Aihara and Takanori Otsuka, with Aihara providing the majority of the tracks while Otsuka composed tracks 9, 11, 16, 20, and 25. Its 26 tracks have a duration of 42:24. The album was published by Media Remoras on September 20, 1996, with the catalog number of MRCA-20099, and reprinted by Pony Canyon a month later on October 21, 1996, with the catalog number PCCG-00365.[2]
