Month: October 2014

Over the weekend, Bandai Namco Games conducted a handful of business meetings to discuss their slate of upcoming games, during which they announced that Tekken 7 will arrive in arcades in February of next year.

This news comes a little over two weeks since the company held high-profile location tests at a pair of venues in Japan, highlighting the title’s gameplay mechanics, new characters, and arcade netplay.

According to Avoiding the Puddle, these details were shared in catalogs that cater to arcade operators, with specifications on cabinets such as pricing, size, and more. This information quickly appeared on Japanese resource Arcade Game Portal, where the date was originally spotted.

Along with the debut of fighters Katarina and Claudio, Tekken 7 includes two new features: Rage Arts, powerful special moves that become available once a character’s health dips below a certain threshold, and Power Crushes, which power through the opponent’s offense without being interrupted.

With this new release window nearing rapidly, we’re sure to hear more details on the upcoming game throughout the coming months, so stay tuned.
