"Utopia may not be all you desire."
— Announcer

Utopia of the Blessed (至福者の楽園?) is Elysium's stage in Soulcalibur V. It resembles a heavenly Greek sanctuary, it is an infinite stage, and a multi-tiered stage.

It has a long staircase in the background and is surrounded by very elegant ancient Greek temples and hexagonal tile floors. The skies in this stage appear to have an oddball coloring in gameplay movement, as the left of the stage has a red sky while on the right is blue, but in the back, it appears with dull grey skies and looks very similar to the sky in the creation mode.

Once either player only needs to win one more round, the utopia crumbles into ruins, a vision of an apocalypse or hell. The fight then continues on a platform of limited size and ring-out opportunities to all sides of the ring.

Profile[]

Divine light and serenity rule over this utopia. The large structures in the distance are reminiscent of ancient Greek temples. As the end of the battle nears, this perfect utopia crumbles into the vision of an apocalypse, a true hell of despair.[1]

Designer's Comment[]

"This stage has been described as heaven and hell, keywords that were often associated with the final boss stage of "Tekken Tag Tournament 2", which we were working on simultaneously. This often caused us to bicker amongst ourselves, saying the two stages were too much alike."
— Yuko Mizoguchi[1]

Trivia[]

  • During development, the keywords to describe the stage's concept were "heaven and hell'. These were the same keywords used for the final boss stage in Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Heavenly Garden/Fallen Garden. According to designer Yuko Mizoguchi, both development teams would bicker, saying the stages were too much alike. [1]
  • The final battle of Story Mode against Elysium takes place in this stage, and the stage is thus associated with her.
  • The stage appears to be the thematic opposite of the Soulcalibur II stage Tartaros. Tataros is the final stage in which players fight Inferno, the spirit of Soul Edge. Utopia of the Blessed is the final stage in which players fight Elysium, the spirit of Soul Calibur.
