For any European Tekken fanatics looking to buy a console to play Tekken 7, it looks like Bandai Namco and Sony have something for you. Bandai Namco France has just revealed the first image of a Tekken 7-themed PlayStation 4 Pro.

Now, while the bundle in the image is of a 1 TB PlayStation 4 Pro, there is also a bundle of the slim version of the PS4 with 500GB apparently coming. A listing by UK retailer GAME has the PS4 Slim bundle costing £250. Prices for the Pro bundle have yet to be revealed.

As for whether or not a US bundle is coming, we have no word–as of yet. Since its launch in the US back in September of 2016, there have been no official PlayStation 4 Pro bundles released in the region, though some retailers have come up with their own.

You’ll still have to wait to play until the beta goes live on the 11th, though!

PlayStation Plus users can download the new Capcom Fighters Network beta test today, if you’d like to have the file already downloaded and ready to run when the beta test starts up on May 11. It’s available to grab right now on the US/Canada PlayStation Store.

Another little surprise turned up on the PlayStation Store today as well: if you’ve been holding out on grabbing Battle Costumes for the original 16-character cast, they can now be purchased in a single shot bundle for $29.99 USD. Check out the Original Characters Battle Costume 1 Pack if you need to complete your collection. It’s a little encouraging to see that the costumes are getting a bundling and price break, at least eventually–as the majority of Premium outfits for the game have only been sold individually so far.

At the time of writing, the new beta and the Battle Costume bundle don’t seem to have appeared on Steam yet. The beta test is planned to run on both console and PC from May 11 to 14; it will feature the new CFN features, the upcoming balance patch, and all playable characters unlocked–including the recently-revealed Season 2 DLC fighter Ed.

For the most part, when an organization signs a player, it’s so that they can compete under their banner. However, occasionally, a player will get signed to help manage other players: such is the case with Carl “Perfect Legend” White, who has recently joined Evolved as a player manager.

ETA welcomes @PerfectLegend! He competes and now manages professional fighting games players in Injustice & Street Fighter to name a few.

In joining Evolved, Perfect Legend will now be involved with the organization in helping any future fighting game players that they sign. What he won’t be doing however is competing under their banner; Perfect Legend has confirmed that he is still with Stream.me as a player.

Evolved is a talent agency that represents, in their own words, “the biggest and brightest stars in the world of YouTube, streaming and esports.” As part of this, they’re involved in representation, contract negotiation, and brand building for said talents.

Perfect Legend on the other hand has made a name for himself as a tournament player in multiple games. He is tied for fourth in terms of overall Evo championship wins (alongside John Choi, Alex Valle, Shinya “Nuki” Ohnuki, and Dominique “Sonic Fox” McLean).

We here at Shoryuken wish Evolved and Perfect Legend the best in this new relationship.
