There is a new challenger in town and she is not one to mess with. Bandai Namco Games has recently made Kazumi an official playable character in "Tekken 7," together with her not-so-friendly pet. Hailing from the brawl-loving Mishima clan, Kazumi is always ready for battle.
In a new trailer showing off her flawless fighting skills, Kazumi has the ability to summon a tiger at will to assist her during battle. Although she already looks capable of giving opponents a beatdown, the Mishima matriarch can always count on her pet that can do uppercuts as well as claw and pounce enemies.
This is the first time Kazumi will become playable in the franchise, but she was already seen in action in "Tekken: The Motion Picture" and in the sequel to a live-action "Tekken" movie. Her arrival in "Tekken 7" is the most ominous yet as she serves as the final boss for players to fight.
This makes her the first ever female boss in "Tekken" gaming history. Players will be battling Kazumi's intimidating devil form, which makes her the most fitting character to be in charge of the ultimate battle. They should be ready for her laser blasts and watertight hacking and slashing.
It is still unknown, though, if gamers will be able to control Kazumi's devil form, which is not shown in the trailer. However, being in the presence of Heihachi and Kazuya's equally atrocious mother with erupting volcanoes in the background is something to look forward to.
Kazumi will join the rest of the pack in arcades on June 2. Bandai Namco Games is still working on polishing "Tekken 7" despite the game being already out in arcades in Japan. The title will reportedly arrive on the Xbox One and PS4 platforms although a release date is still undetermined.
Before Kazumi, Jack-7 in his most redoubtable form was introduced in the title. The game also brought in new characters into the fore, including a Saudi Arabian fighter named Shaheen, Latin American warrior Katarina, Claudio, and Lucky Chloe.
"Tekken 7" will be gracing the upcoming Community Effort Orlando 2015 in Wyndham Orlando Resort in Florida from June 26 to 28. Fans will also get to experience the game at the Evolution Championship Series 2015, which is set from July 17 to 19 in Las Vegas Casino.
