The New Tekken 7 character list features Akuma, Claudio, Gigas, Jack-7, Josie, Katarina, Kazumi, Lucky Chloe, Master Raven, and Shaheen. We also got ten new fighters to go alongside the legacy ones. Eliza, technically also a returning character, made her main game debut as a pre-order DLC.
Tekken 7 legacy characters include Alisa, Asuka, Bob, Bryan, Devil Jin, Dragunov, Eddy, Feng, Heihachi, Hwoarang, Jin, Kazuya, King, Kuma, Lars, Lee, Leo, Lili, Law, Miguel, Nina, Panda, Paul, Steve, Xiaoyu, and Yoshimitsu. More than half of those were previously featured in the series.
Initially, the Tekken 7 roster consisted only of 36 fighters – a decent number further boosted by the DLC releases. The seventh mainline game featured improved visuals, and tighter gameplay and controls, thanks to the decision to move from the proprietary engine and make the game on Unreal Engine 4. Even so, everyone’s gaze quickly shifted to it from the previous entry that was Tekken Tag Tournament 2. The latest entry in the storied franchise was released with all the fanfare that the game of this caliber is entitled to, and it didn’t disappoint.Īs is always the case with the series, Tekken 7 has first arrived on Arcades full two years before the game saw the console and PC release. It’s wild to think that Tekken 7 has been with us since 2015.
