Gameplay for Inferno has surfaced for Soul Calibur 6. Notably, we had previously heard about a report that Inferno was an unlockable "mimic character" in the game.

Being that Inferno is the soul within the evil sword and the controlling force behind Nightmare, it's not too surprising to hear that Inferno appears to be a mimic of Nightmare. According to Avoiding the Puddle, Inferno utilizes many of Nightmare's moves but with his own effects on them.

Unlike other mimic characters in the series like the Edge Master, Inferno's weapon and movelist does not appear to change between rounds. The concept of this is very similar to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's "Echo Fighter" theme.

Since Inferno is mimicking Nightmare, he boasts an enormous amount of power and reach as he wield's Nightmare's iconic weapon with the eyeball sticking out.

Supposedly, Inferno will be unlocked upon completing the game's Soul Chronicle story mode. A notification will inform the player that they "acquired the character: 'Inferno.'"

It's currently not know what role Inferno will be taking in the story. Many have speculated that it is actually Azwel that is the game's main antagonist this time around.

Soul Calibur 6 will be releasing on October 19, 2018.
