'Tekken 7' to get graphical update; Arcade launch Mar. 10

A limited arcade release of Bandai Namco Games' newest fighting game "Tekken 7" took place on Feb. 18. Next to look forward to is the full arcade launch, which is scheduled on March 10. With only mere days left before the final game gets off the ground, director Katsuhiro Harada revealed that a graphical update for the highly-anticipated game is set in "March or April." This only means that Bandai Namco would not let out "Tekken 7" without making it look immaculate. 

"Tekken 7" is set at 1080p and 60fps. It also happens to be the first iteration of the wildly popular fighting game to use Unreal Engine 4, making it a special release indeed. However, gamers believe that the brawls and tussles in the theatre of war do not look that impressive or enhanced in terms of the visual quality. The game's graphics was based on its predecessor, "Tekken 6," and fans think that the games are a bit too similar. Fortunately, Bandai Namco aims to improve the game further in that aspect, making Lucky Chloe look better than ever before. 

Delving into the heart of "Tekken 7," its dark story mode will revolve around the final clash of the Mishima clan. The ultimate boss will be Heihachi's wife and Kazuya's mother, Kazuma Mishima. The character was made more menacing with two forms to morph into. First is her natural human form and second is her winged laser-shooting demon form. 

"Tekken 7" is getting a litany of warriors to choose from. Aside from Kazuma, players can choose Claudio, Katarina, Lucky Chloe, Shaheen, Kazuya, Heihachi, Lars, Asuka, Lili, Alisa, Xiaoyu, Feng, Paul, Marshall Law, Steve, Leo, Hwoarang, King, Dragunov or Bryan. 

Gamers in North America will get to step into the battlefield of "Tekken 7" as it will  be part of the EVO 2015 tournament set to take place in Las Vegas from July 17 to19. The title is also expected to make it across the PS4 and Xbox One platforms after its full arcade release is realized.
