Another new character in Tekken 7 announced by Capcom last weekend is coming to Japanese arcades on April 28 and that will be tomorrow.
The latest news is announced on the CAPCOM TV, which according to Shoryuken, the newest character is a giant red colossus named Gigas as revealed by Bandai Namco Games' Katsuhiro Harada.
"Just moments ago, Katsuhiro Harada took the stage on CAPCOM TV's Chokaiginiconico stream dressed in full Pikachu garb-still with his signature sunglasses-to make a much-anticipated reveal regarding Tekken 7. This news came in the form of a new fighter to join the battle: Gigas," reports Shoryuken.
Details about the new character is very limited and with an unknown nationality. Avoiding the Puddle reports in their website wrote that there's little known about the character officially as his nationality is DATA DELETED with his fighting style being listed as DESTRUCTIVE IMPULSE.
A YouTube trailer showing the new character, Gigas, in action using destructive impulse power can be seen in this link.
Gigas will be joining Tekken 7 new characters along with the Arab fighter Shaheen, the Italian Claudio, the Latin American Katarina, Lucky Cloe, Kazumi Mishima, and the Filipina Josie Rizal.
Tekken 7 is developed in Unreal Engine 4, a new technology set of game development tools with dozens of game created which include Street Fighter V.
The game has been out for some time now in Japanese arcades, but it unavailable in other parts of the world. This is discouraging for those who are thinking of picking up from new addition of fighting characters but still unable to know when are they going to finally get their hands on them.
Tekken 7 is a smash hit on Japanese arcades and expected to also hit systems such as Playstation 4 and Xbox One but no official release announcement has been made as of yet.
