Lakeside Coliseum (湖畔の闘技場?) is a stage in Soulcalibur II and Soulcalibur III. It is located in northern Italy or probably in Rome.
Soulcalibur II[]
Profile[]
This place is a revival of the splendor that is Ancient Rome. The dreams of those in power are always connected to that place, regardless of the ages.
This place exists in a lakeside cavern somewhere in Europe. This is a place where duels to the death are fought. The special privilege of witnessing the battles are only offered to a small number of the upper class. It is a place both elegant and gruesome--it is a place ruled by glory, praise, curiosity, blood, and money.
This place of duels and battles looks just like the ancient coliseums. Warriors fight here for different reasons: Some fight for glory or money, while others hope for freedom. And the affluent watch the battles from their special seats or the boats floating on the lake, enjoying the spectacle that they see as the ultimate entertainment.
Soulcalibur III[]
In Soulcalibur III, there are two variations of the stage: one with a tall fence surrounding all sides of the stage and one with a small fence on two sides, with the latter version being designated as Rock's home stage. In Soulcalibur III: Arcade Edition, a third variation was added. It's similar to Rock's stage except it's now set during the daytime.

What is the most primitive, most appalling, yet most exciting sport? The answer lies in ancient Rome. It is the Colosseo, where men bet their lives in combat.
On a certain lakeshore exists a secret arena constructed to recreate that world. Men of power who have already exhausted all other luxuries the world has to offer come here to watch men fight for their lives. This place was built in search of this ultimate stimulation.
In contrast to the blood-stained madness of the arena, the surrounding landscape is pleasant and peaceful. The surface of the lake calmly reflects sunlight onto the gently swaying trees of the forest...
The arena, which has tested the blood of countless warriors, breathes deeply of the clear lakeside air and quietly awaits the signal for the next battle to begin.
Trivia[]
- It was one of the new stages added in the home console versions of Soulcalibur II.
