Since its inception, animal fighters have been a part of Tekken. As such, it should come as no surprise then that two of the series most iconic animal characters will be coming to Tekken 7.
At the end of the King of Iron Fist Global Championship stream, Bandai Namco dropped a new trailer announcing that Kuma and Panda will be returning to Tekken 7 when it hits PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC sometime in 2017.
Now while Panda is basically a palette swap of Kuma, she’s occupied her own separate slot in the select screen since Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and even gotten some animations unique to her in that game. Whether or not we’ll see more differentiation between these two in Tekken 7 is unknown.
Tekken 7 is set to release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Steam in sometime in 2017, with the exact date to be announced sometime next month.
