Both the first Soulcalibur and Soulcalibur 2 HD have been eliminated from the Microsoft Store since last weekend. The person in charge of discovering it has been Jon Cartwright in making it public with the Tweet above, a news later shared and confirmed by VG247.
Here you have the link both of the first and the second, and in both cases it can be verified that, although their page in the store is still enabled, they cannot be acquired. In the section that would normally correspond to the price, where we could do click to buy them and add them to our library, now a text picture appears that says that "it is not available separately." However, none is either within a package, and what appears when trying to buy it from the consoles themselves is "is not currently available."
Although it could no longer be acquired from Xbox 360 itself, the retrocompatibility of Microsoft consoles allowed the two fighting titles to both in Xbox Series X | S and in Xbox One. In any case, both games can still be achieved digitally If we buy your corresponding exchangeable codes outside the Xbox store in some countries.
At the moment there have been no direct statements on the issue by Microsoft or Bandai Namco itself, and the reason for this withdrawal is still clear. However, from Eurogamer UK they point out what could be due to licens problems with guest fighters: in the case of Soulcalibur 2 it was the comic spawn character created by Todd McFarlane (while PlayStation 2 was Tekken Heihachi, although in The HD version were both in both versions).
We will update this news at the time there is an official statement.
