Unlike previous games in the Soul Blade/Soul Calibur series, Soul Calibur Legends is not simply an arena fighter, but a third-person action adventure. This Wii exclusive will keep some of the traditional elements of the series, such as specific weapons for each character, but the depth of combat will be traded for the ability to explore and level up characters. The game follows a story, of which few details are available, other than it is "a quest for ultimate power in order to save an empire from destruction." The game will incorporate characters from previous Soul Calibur games, as well as some new faces.

---From 1-Up about controls---
The control scheme's being kept under wraps, but is said to incorporate both the Wiimote and nunchuck simultaneously. There should be something more than simply swinging the Wiimote around, just don't expect the same depth as the fighting series. As more fighting experience is gathered, however, players can earn titles (i.e. Knight, Soldier) that unlock additional attacks.
