“Fighting game tournament players should be on notice as we’re setting our sights on lighting up the tournament scene with the hardest hitting Tekken game ever”. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, TEKKEN 7 sets a new standard in graphics quality for the series, featuring highly detailed characters and dynamic environments.

Tekken 7 is making its way to PlayStation 4.
Of course Katsuhiro Harada, the man behind the Tekken franchise, is already working in VR, having already shown Summer Lesson for PlayStation VR. What secrets will be revealed within the Mishima clan?
If any fighting-based videogame were to be announced for virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays (HMDs) today, many would have assumed that it would be Capcom’s Street Fighter V.
That was not the real news there though, as Harada stayed on stage after the fact and revealed that Tekken 7 will also be coming to PlayStation 4.
New characters will also be coming to “Tekken 7”, as Bandai Namco has confirmed that Claudio, Josie, Lucky Chloe, Shaheen, Katarina and Gigas will be part of the game’s home release. And this was also the terminology used in Bandai Namco’s press release, the omission of any exclusivity talk during Sony’s press conference leads us to believe it is indeed coming to Xbox One. Tekken 7 marks the ninth installment in the series.
