Bandai Namco Games has finally put up a "Tekken 7" dedicated website where fans of the fighting game can scour a truckload of information about the game to their hearts' content. The website also revealed the highly-demanded roster, which is composed of 20 classic fighters.
A fan recently inquired "Tekken 7" director and producer Katsuhiro Harada about future character revelations and it turns out that his simple "yep" response equated to 16 more combatants. Completing the lineup for "Tekken 7" are legendary warriors Kazuya, Heihachi, Lars, Asuka, Lili, Alisa, Xiaoyu, Feng, Paul, Marshall Law, Steve, Leo, Hwoarang, King, Dragunov and Bryan Fury.
The game developer confirmed the appearance of four new characters before the official website went live. There is the Brazilian Savate expert Katarina; and Claudio, the Italian white-clad that makes use of light to bring doom to his opponents. Another participant is Lucky Chloe, an otaku who freestyle dances her way to victory while rocking a kitten-themed costume. Lastly, Shaheen, the Arabian warrior who dons a keffiyeh while battling in military autodefense style, also joins the tournament. Whether or not the ensemble will grow remains to be seen.
Bandai Namco Games is prepping for a pre-launch of "Tekken 7" in select Japanese arcades on Feb. 18. The full unveiling of the arcade component of the celebrated beat 'em up franchise refresh is scheduled to happen in the middle of March. After this, the game should arrive to PS4 and Xbox One consoles across the globe as well.
The game is also appearing in Evo 2015 in Las Vegas for a tournament set to take place from July 17 to 19. Along with "Tekken 7," the event will also bring a host of action-packed titles like "Ultra Street Fighter IV," "Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3," "Super Smash Bros." for Wii U, "Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-," "Killer Instinct," "Mortal Kombat X," "Persona 4 Arena Ultimax" and "Super Smash Bros. Melee."
