According to PC Advisor, Bandai Namco Community manager Gaetan Gireme said that fans of the game can expect to see new fighters along with classic fighters in "Tekken 7."
"In addition to these great graphics, as demonstrated in this awesome announcement trailer, many new characters will join the fight," Gireme said at Paris Games Week.
Earlier this year, the arcade version of the game was released in Japan, and over the recent months, "Tekken 7" has made its way to other countries such as New Zealand. Attack of the Fanboy reviewed the game earlier this month, saying the new levels "look impressive" and that graphics have greatly improved.
It was also reported that the arcade mode has five stages, where each stage requires a player to win two rounds. In the fifth and fourth stages, a gamer has to face off against Heihachi Mishima and Kazumi Mishima respectively. Kazumi is one of the latest additions to the game, and she is said to be the wife of Heihachi and the mother of Kazuya.
"Tekken 7" is slated for release for the PlayStation 4 in 2016.
