The first episode features a setting that reconstructs Venice altogether rather accurately, based on one pretty stereotypical shot of the Grand Canal, with gondolas, the lagoon and the city’s traditional style of architecture in the background. The locations surrounding the arena (Santa Maria della Salute, Ca’ D’oro, the Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore) are actually located in other places around the city.
In the fifth episode, the Italian city returns, with a level of detail that is decidedly worthy of the times; the arena is located on the roofs of Venetian buildings. This time Venice hosts special guest Soul Calibur V, or rather Ezio Auditore from Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations.

Fighting game
The roots of the series date back to 1996 and Soul Blade, which Soul Calibur is a sequel to (which in turn spawned five other games). The story takes us back to the archetypical struggle between good and evil: at the centre of it all is a sword with incredible powers. Unlike the game’s competitor Tekken, here the use of sidearms is allowed, making the battles all the more lively.
