Returning fighter Zafina and new original character Leroy Smith are set to join the game in the coming months. In addition to the new fighters, Tekken 7 will also receive a major update that adds new moves to existing characters. The roadmap laid out in the announcement video shows two unrevealed fighters as well as an unrevealed featured and stage, respectively. At this point, it’s unclear exactly who will be revealed as the two fighter slots, but neither of them are likely Snake.
