Tekken 7 is up for a major announcement next week as Bandai Namco celebrates the franchise's 20th anniversary. Fans are speculating what this update would entail, where many are hoping that this would finally be about the release date for consoles. On the other hand, other possibilities could be that of a new and more exciting character, or perhaps more details on the crossover with Capcom's Street Fighter.
Most of the updates on Tekken 7 would be about the new characters being added. As previously reported here in VCPost, a trailer has been shown where Kazumi Mishima is featured as the new additional character. She will be equipped with powerful moves such as tiger summoning. Moreover, she will be a boss in the game, where she will be able to transform into a demon.
On the Japanese Twitter account of Bandai Namco, a post was recently shared. After being translated by Gematsu, the tweet reads, "On Tuesday, July 7, 2015, there will be a major announcement from the Tekken project, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. Please look forward to it." With this, fans have begun coming up with ideas as to what this would be all about.
As reported in a recent article, the safest to assume as an announcement for Tekken 7 would be that a new character will be welcomed to the game, considering that this is the usual case. However, many gamers are hoping that the console release date would finally be unveiled, albeit only for Japan.
Another speculation is that Bandai Namco will also be revealing Tekken vs. Street Fighter. Considering that it has been quite some time since this game was last heard of, this might as well be the major announcement being pertained to.
Could it be possible that Tekken 7 will finally have a known release date by July 7? The quick answer to that is "yes." The image used on the post was of the said title. At the same time, why make a big fuss for just another new character? For more announcements on Bandai Namco's 3D fighting game, be sure to read up on the next report.
