Namco Bandai has marked the launch of its new fighting game SoulCalibur V by commissioning some stunning street art in London.
The gamemaker teamed up with famous graffiti artist Jim Rockwell and his team of aerosol artisans at ENDoftheLINE to create a huge promotional mural on the 16-metre Great Eastern Street wall in Shoreditch.
It depicts classic SoulCalibur villain Nightmare facing down newcomer and protagonist Patroklos, with guest character Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed also prominently featured.
The impressive mural will help raise excitement levels for the release of the new Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title this week, which promises to be the biggest and best SoulCalibur yet.
Set 17 years after the previous instalment, SoulCalibur V introduces numerous brand new characters, modes and gameplay features, with including the innovative Critical Edge and Quick Move systems.
A Collector's Edition will also be made available that includes in-game bonuses and collectible memorabilia, such as a soundtrack CD, art book and making-of videos.
