The newest entry in Bandai Namco's Tekken series comes to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Steam right at the halfway point of 2017.
The date is definitely later than the game's original "early 2017" launch date that had been suggested by its developer, but according to Ign, Tekken Project Leader Katsuhiro Harada recently stated "We were trying to do everything we could to make that date happen … but in the end we came to the decision that [after] seeing releases from other companies, as well as some of the past of our own, where maybe things weren’t working 100% at launch ... we made a very difficult decision of moving it to June to include all of the original content that we’d originally planned."
With that in mind, Bandai Namco has outlined many details of the game's June release. First, Tekken 7 will offer the series' first collector's edition, coming with a special Kazuya and Heihachi statue, a steel book case and soundtrack. The game will also offer Tekken's first Season Pass, guaranteeing more new characters, new stages, a new game mode, costumes and bonus "Metallic" skins after the game's release. Third, the PlayStation 4 version of the game will gain exclusive content in the form of classic costumes from previous Tekken games including Jin's Tekken 4 hoodie and formal King from Tekken2.
Lastly, the spirit of Tekken Revolution lives on as Eliza has been added to Tekken 7 as a preorder bonus. For more information on the game and its release, head over to Bandai Namco's website. Players can watch the game's new trailer below.
