Tekken 7 Now Available, New Launch Trailer Released

Tekken 7 is finally here, and it’s fantastic. If you missed it, you can read our full review right here. To celebrate today’s historic launch, Bandai Namco has put together a flashy new launch trailer which you can watch above.

Tekken 7 doesn’t attempt to reinvent the wheel, but it comes darn close to perfecting it. It’s a fantastic fighting game with a convoluted story mode that, eventually, concludes with fireworks. It’s a total spectacle, and somethign you don’t want to miss. We were also incredibly impressed by all of the extra features and unlockables for long-time fans of the series. For your $60, there’ no better fighting game out there right now, Injustice 2 being the only possible exception.

“Over its two-decade history, the TEKKEN series has been a source of pride within our organization and TEKKEN 7 is the franchise’s strongest offering yet; ready to take its place in the pantheon of great fighting games.” said Eric Hartness, Vice President of Marketing at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc.

“Our plans for TEKKEN 7 don’t end with the launch of the game, instead our vision extends globally as we begin to seek out the best-of-the-best TEKKEN 7 players in the world through the TEKKEN World Tour series. The fiercest fighters who rise through the TEKKEN World Tour will face-off at the TEKKEN World Finals taking place in North America in November this year. We look forward to pitting the toughest TEKKEN 7 players against each other; crowning new King of the Iron Fist Champions for many years to come.”

“It has been a long journey, but reaching today’s launch of TEKKEN 7 has been well worth the TEKKEN Team’s diligent efforts.” said Katsuhiro Harada, TEKKEN Franchise Director at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc. “We’ve put our blood, sweat, and souls into bringing TEKKEN 7 to home consoles in the hope that new players and long-time fans will enjoy our work. This is a true passion project and I hope players will be able to feel the TEKKEN Team’s dedication to our art as they play TEKKEN 7.”
