As many people have heard it was recently revealed a few days ago that returning characters Ivy Valentine and Zasalamel are now apart of the Soul Calibur VI roster. Ivy being added to the game was basically guaranteed since she has been around since the very beginning when the series first started in 1998.

Also, Ivy is one of the most popular characters in the Soul Calibur series and not having her in SSVI would probably disappoint many people. Also, if the story of Soul Calibur VI is going to focus on past events surrounding the very first game then it was pretty much a given that Ivy was going to be a playable character.

The addition of Zasalamel from Soul Calibur III as a playable may come as a surprise to some however. When Soul Calibur III was first released back in 2005 Zasalamel was arguably one of the most popular new characters in the series of the time. It will be interesting to see what his role in the storyline for Soul Calibur VI is going to be especially considering the fact that the plot revolves around the events of the very first Soul Calibur game. As of right now Ivy and Zasalamel have been confirmed to appear in Soul Calibur VI along with the likes of Sophitia, Nightmare, Mitsurugi, Xianghua and Kilik which makes for a promising roster.
