After the successful release of the Tekken games with some revolving around Gin Kazama and his father’s rivalry, Tekken gamers are yet to find out what the “Tekken 7” gameplay could offer. So here are everything you need to know about the upcoming renowned fighting game.

According to CNet, amid Namco Bandai’s sold Tekken games of 42 million overall, fans could be more ecstatic about this upcoming installment. On top of that, it was also mentioned that this saga would end the Mishima Family clash. The King of Iron Fist Tournament has more features to offer gamers this time.

More so, Games Radar reported that the supposed to be release of the game this “early” 2017, is revealed by game director Katsuhiro Harada to be not expected as “early.” Thus, the director apologized on the interview since he thought that “early” meant March or April for other people.

Harada then mentioned that they wanted to release the game as early as possible. He then said that the reason was to create more quality content and title which led to “Tekken 7” delayed release. In addition, Street Fighter’s Azuma was also introduced. Fans speculated that his involvement is to entice Street Fighter fans.

Well, this is no more speculation as Games Spot confirmed that "Tekken 7" is going. Harada stated in the interview: "Yes, it's partly to attract 2D fighting game or Street Fighter players. But if we really think honestly about it, I don't think we're going to get those fans with just one character."

Nonetheless, gamers could expect "Tekken 7" to be up for pre-order. Gamers are also given the chance to experience vampire fighter, Eliza in the game if they are to pre-order the game. But that’s not all, as Engadget also identified that beside the character Eliza, Xbox users could also enjoy their Xbox One code for Tekken 6. Meanwhile, also in store for PlayStation 4 players is a “Jukebox Mode” which would enable you to create your own playlist of Tekken tracks.

Tekken 4 and Tekken 2 costumes for characters King, Xiaoyu, and Kin are also given for PS4 players. "Tekken 7" is announced to bring its combo hits to the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PCs this June 2, 2017.
