More details about "Tekken 7" are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
According to Attack of the Fanboy, Bandai Namco will unveil a lot of important news about the ninth installment in the "Tekken" fighting series at the upcoming Evolution Championship Series 2015, scheduled from July 17 to 19 in Las Vegas. This is based on the Twitter post of Mad Catz community manager Mark Julio early this month.
According to Julio, the type of controller that players can use to play "Tekken 7" will be revealed during the annual fighting tournament.
"Just a heads up for TEKKEN pad players at EVO 2015. DS3 & DS2 with converters will NOT work with TEKKEN 7. You'll need a DS4. Plan now!" the Mad Catz community manager shared online.
The upcoming EVO 2015 will mark the first time that a "Tekken 7" competition will reach North America since the game is only available in Japan at the moment. The game also made its debut in Southeast Asia when Bandai Namco brought the game to the recently concluded SEAM 2015 event held in Bangkok, Thailand.
Meanwhile, ChinaTopix reported that "Tekken 7" will add a returning character to the game's roster. The report cited an earlier post by KDramaStars claiming that Jun Kazama might return to the game. Game creator Katsuhiro Harada hinted last year that Jin's mother is still alive after her fatal battle with the Ogre in "Tekken 3." Since "Tekken 7" is the final installment in the long-running Mishima family feud, it is possible to see Jun's return in this game.
On the other hand, VC Post reported that the highly-anticipated console versions of "Tekken 7," including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, will come out in August. However, Bandai Namco has yet to confirm the validity of the said report.
The arcade version of "Tekken 7" was first released in Japan on Feb. 18.
