Tekken designer Michael Murray announced this morning that the Tekken 7 world championships have granted the United States another qualifier, scheduled for October 18 at the New York City Dave and Buster’s in Times Square. This news comes just two weeks after a similar event was announced for Southern California.
Bandai Namco Entertainment’s Tekken 7 world championships, dubbed The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2015, will see players from all over the world head to Japan for a shot at the massive ¥10,000,000 JPY (~$81,000 USD) prize pool. At this point in time, only Nobi and Ao are confirmed to compete due to their respective first and second place finishes at Evo 2015, but the bracket will soon be expanded by upcoming qualifiers in Japan, South Korea, Europe, and, obviously, the United States.
The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2015’s grand finals are scheduled for December 12. Keep your eyes on the official website for more details as we near that date.
