Earlier this year we heard word that Soulcalibur 4 would feature Yoda and Darth Vader exclusively for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Today Namco Bandia announced that there is going to be one more character joining the battle.

Both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game will feature the Secret Apprentice character from LucasArts' upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, allowing for proper lightsaber-on-lightsaber duels.

Soulcalibur IV is set for release on the Xbox 360 and PS3 in regular and limited editions on July 29. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will follow for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo DS on September 16.
