New Tekken 7 Season Pass revealed, adds Anna, Lei, Walking Dead’s Negan, and more!

When producer Katsuhiro Harada took the stage of Evo 2018, it was palpable that it was time to announce a new season of DLC for the wildly successful Tekken 7. As usual, Harada-san had a few left hooks with him — The arena was excited at the (perhaps expected) addition of series mainstays Anna Williams and Lei Wulong, but no one was ready for what came at the end of the world premiere trailer:

One of The Walking Dead‘s most famous antagonists, Negan, will come swinging into the world of Tekken 7. (Do you think he’ll have a rivalry with Bryan? Because I do. Please, Namco.) When he does, he’ll get to enjoy the several new new combo mechanics teased in the new season’s trailer, including a surprising new wall bounce mechanic.

Astaroth, Seong Mi-Na revealed for Soul Calibur VI at Evo 2018

Fans of Soul Calibur were treated to not just one, but two character reveals right before the Tekken 7 top 8 began today at Evo 2018: Big bad Axe Golem Astaroth, and the weapon-hunting Seong Mi-Na have made Soul Calibur VI‘s cast.

Astaroth returns with the host of command grabs he’s gained over the course of several games, and gains a buffed Poseidon Tide while in Soul Charge. Mi-Na, meanwhile, seems completely overhauled, showing off a bevy of new tools, though some of her chunkier attacks (SC2’s 44A+B, 8A+B) do make a return. Perhaps most interesting is that her Soul Charge gives her a more powerful new string off of 1K — and do my eyes deceive me, or is 1K faster now? Mi-Na fans, rejoice!
