Bandai Namco's fighting game "Tekken" is having its seventh installment released soon, and fans can't help but get hyped over the new character additions whom they will soon get to play on "Tekken 7."

The Japanese game publisher still hasn't provided fans who are highly anticipating the game with specific details as to when "Tekken 7" will actually be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, however, rumors about what "Tekken 7" has in store for fans are continuously spreading around the internet, and speculations suggest that old "Tekken" favorites are making a comeback in "Tekken 7."

According to one report, "Tekken 7" will be bringing back a "Tekken" character initially introduced in "Tekken 6." "Tekken 7" might include the hot-blooded Spanish Miguel Caballero Rojo as one of the game's playable characters. Miguel is a "Tekken 6" character that possesses a good set of offensive techniques, and is one of the few "Tekken" characters who boasts a street fighting style.

The Spaniard Miguel is said to come back to "Tekken 7" to avenge his sister who died in an airstrike ordered by the Mishima Zaibatsu. After Miguel's sister passed away, he has devoted his life to getting revenge on the Mishima clan. Additionally, rumors also suggest that Miguel is out to take vengeance against Jin Kazama.

On another note, speculations also suggest that Bandai Namco will also be working on a "Tekken 7" downloadable content pack. The pack is also speculated to contain new characters that will be added to the "Tekken 7" roster.

One familiar character who might be included in the "Tekken 7" downloadable content pack, is Hong Kong supercop Lei Wulong. Wulong was a "Tekken" character initially introduced in "Tekken 2." What's more is that "Tekken 7" game producer Katsuhiro Harada teased fans with a tweet that suggests Wulong could be the first character addition included in "Tekken 7's" downloadable content pack.

Fans could however expect the return of Jin, Bryan Fury, Hwoarang, Steve Fox, Kazuya, Lars Alexandersson, Heihachi, King, Alisa, Asuka, Lili, Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, Feng Wei, Lee, Nina, Yoshimitsu, Xiaoyu, Dragunov, Bob, and Leo in the "Tekken 7" roster.
