Gaming media outlet Dualshockers.com received a quote from Bandai Namco America Brand Manager Mark Religioso, revealing that the company is putting emphasis on Tekken 7: Fated Retribution’s single player experience:

What we’re kinda seeing now with the trends in fighting games, is that fans want more than the core fighting experience, they also want a full fleshed-out single player experience, which is why we’re pursuing story mode so hard in this game.

We’re really integrating it in a special way where it goes from in-game cinematics to actual gameplay with a lot of dialogue between characters, so you can really experience and feel that story.

Religioso also teased that even more characters would be joining the roster, presumably in addition to Master Raven and Bob, revealed at Evo 2016.

Though competitive players are usually focused on the quality of the multiplayer modes in fighting games, it is hard to argue that a thoroughly developed single player experience does not contribute to the overall success of a title. Furthermore, the social and political stances of the characters in the story of Tekken have been a focal point throughout the history of the franchise, so a more interactive story mode is good news for all Tekken fans.
