Soulcalibur.com is Gone?

I googled SoulCalibur 6 in Japanese. It seems that the Japs are also abuzz with these rumours that originate from reddit, so it would appear that many people are placing legitimacy on this. Now, I suppose, we wait for one of these three events: PSX, The Game Awards, and Nintendo's Direct in January.

Soulcalibur.com started redirecting in December 2016 the Soulcalibur facebook & twitter has been largely inactive since then

Good to know Japan is getting hyped on the rumors as well.

Now now, nice news. The rumors, or leaks, seem to be rather vague, but from what I get they are focusing on story, which worries me the game will be mechanically closer to special abilities.

It also seems to imply as of now, no returning characters of the new generation, so I wonder if it is another soft reboot or they are going back to the core characters back in SC IV.

Another scenario would be the MKX route, where they implemented a streamline story retelling the game since the beginning.

Aren't a fighting game's story and mechanics completely separate categories? There shouldn't be any corelation between them, as far as I know.

Nothing from the reddit post implies about returning characters. There was just speculation about exclusive characters. In fact, I think it's safe to assume that there will be at least one returning character based on last year's concept art.
