Mind the Tentacles! Yoshimitsu Joins Tekken 7’s Cast on May 12

Bandai Namco has announced that Yoshimitsu will be added to the Tekken 7 roster next week. His reveal comes shortly after a pair of newcomers, Josie Rizal and Gigas, joined the playable cast.

As you can see in the trailer and screenshots below, the veteran swordsman sports yet another brand new look, trading in the samurai-inspired getup from Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for an outfit that’s a bit more alien than anything he’s previously worn. Maybe he actually is from space after all!
