There’s not just one SoulCalibur VI patch out now. No, Bandai Namco has gone ahead and provided two ahead of Setsuka’s debut. While the first one, 2.20, is designed to add support for the new character and 2.21 is designed to fix two problems, there’s more to it than that. Once people update their games, they’ll also find 2.20 adds new Creation Items that include Yasha parts and an additional stage for free.
There are now nine new Creation Items available thanks to 2.20. One is Sticker 127. The others are mostly Yasha parts. After the update is applied, people will find the Fundoshi, Fury Tail, Yasha Clogs, Yasha Comb Hair Accessory, Yasha Flower Hair Accessory, Yasha Gloves, Yasha Kimono, and Yasha Undergarment in their character creator’s collection.
As for the new stage, it is called the Murakumo Shrine Grounds. Should people fight there, they’ll end up hearing “Empty Vengeance” play.
Here are the full SoulCalibur VI patch notes for 2.20 and 2.21 from Bandai Namco.

– Stability has been improved for certain actions, etc.
-CHARACTER CREATION Adjustments (PS4®/Xbox One/STEAM®)
In order to prevent an error in which body parts become transparent, certain pieces of equipment can no longer be equipped together at the same time.
– "Destiny Lower Body Garment" and "Boxing Trunks" can no longer be equipped at the same time.
– "Crown Princess Attire" and "Raven Leather Leggings" can no longer be equipped at the same time.
– "Baihu Coat" and "Sword Demon Costume" can no longer be equipped at the same time.
While we try our hardest to avoid limiting possible customization options, we feel such a change is necessary to prevent character models from displaying incorrectly. We kindly ask for your understanding.
– "Rubber Mask" and "Oval Glasses" can no longer be equipped at the same time.
One of these items would not have displayed when equipped with the other anyway, so this change has no effect on visual customization options.
– "YoRHa Unit Number Two Standard Armor (White)" can no longer be equipped at the same time as "Nakoruru’s Dogi (Top)".
This is due to an issue in which these parts would significantly clip through each other.
The black version of this equipment was already incompatible with "Nakoruru’s Dogi (Top)", so the white version was adjusted to match.
Changes have been made to certain stickers.
– An issue in which stickers placed on "Padded Headgear" are visible on the opposite side they were placed has been fixed.
– An issue in which stickers cannot be placed near the backside of "Chinese Hat (Brimmed)" has been fixed.
(Other changes have been made as well.)
– An issue in which hair with the "Braided Half-Up Style" disappears when certain head equipment is equipped has been fixed.
– An issue in which Astaroth’s and Haohmaru’s abdomens become transparent if they are equipped with "Enlightened One’s Armor" has been fixed.
– The color palette for the 4th color-customizable place on "War Maiden’s Costume" has been changed, increasing customization options.
– "Kuroko’s Hood" was designed after stagehands in kabuki theater (called "kuroko") who would never show their faces, and in consideration of that fact, the item was intentionally designed so it could not be broken. However, in version 2.20, players are now able to turn equipment breaking on or off, so "Kuroko’s Hood" is now treated as breakable equipment.
– An issue in which the angle of movement for "Seeker’s Earrings" and "Aristocrat Earrings" differs between Extra 1 and Extras 2 & 3 has been fixed.
-BAN policies for players who violate the EULA (End User License Agreement)
We will enforce bans on players who have been confirmed to have violated the EULA that is agreed upon when they first play the game. Please note that players who are repeatedly reported to have violated the EULA are subject to the ban once we confirm such violation has actually taken place.

The following changes and improvements will be part of the Version 2.21 update available on 8/3 for the PS4®, Xbox One, and Steam® versions of the game.
