"Tekken 7" has already been released for arcades, yet there is still no news on when it would be made available for consoles. Still, there are many teases and details on gameplay and character that keep fans' appetites whetted.
In the latest round of teasers for playable characters, it seems that a new player from the Mishima bloodline will make an appearance. According to reports, the latest playable fighter to make her way to the fighting roster is Kazumi Mishima, the wife of Heihachi. Speculations started to rise on how she fights, and observers note that she may have the same style as her husband and son.
There are also reports that place Kazumi Mishima as the final boss for the story mode of the game, and that she will also transform into a devil for the final battle. This coincides with some speculations that the story of "Tekken 7" will center on the Mishima bloodline itself, and how Kazumi came to possess the devil transformation technique. In the present storyline of the series, only Kazuya and Jin possess the technique, with the father making a deal with the devil and the son inheriting the devil genes from his father.
In terms of look, the latest Mishima addition to the "Tekken" series has a youthful look to her, so much unlike her husband. The trailer video for "Tekken 7" shows how Kazumi seems to favor serenity and abhors violence, but will also fight and rise up to a challenge. She also seems to share her husband's affinity with animals, as she has a tiger that can aid her in battle, opposite to Heihachi's Kuma.
As for the release date, there are still no clear details on when fans can expect "Tekken 7" in western shores. It has already made a debut in Japan as an arcade title, and fans can expect to catch a glimpse at the upcoming Evolution Championship Series 2015 in Las Vegas.
