Bandai Namco has finally revealed the release date for the much anticipated fighting game Tekken 7, which is scheduled to arrive in summer 2017 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
With almost half a year left to go until the game’s release, Bandai Namco has also confirmed that the game will be getting a season pass and couple of pre-order bonuses for early adopters. As of today, those who pre-order the title will receive the female vampire Eliza to their rosters, and those pre-ordering an Xbox One copy will also get a free backward-compatible copy of Tekken 6 for the Xbox 360.
On the other hand, those who ordered it on the Sony side aren’t left out, however, as they’re also getting the Eliza character. They will also receive exclusive costumes and a PS4 exclusive jukebox mode, which will be available when the game launches on June 2nd.
Tekken 7’s season pass will feature a variety of new characters, costumes, and stages across three different content packs, although more details on this content have yet to be released. The season pass will also introduce a new game mode, although Bandai Namco hasn’t said anything about when the season pass itself will come into effect. The season pass is available on all three platforms.
Even though cross-platform play for the game has been criticized because of the security concerns, gamers playing from the PS4 will have a chance to use the title with their PSVR – an experience which is certainly going to tire out even the most energetic of gamers.
As the game gets closer to launch, Bandai Namco has revealed several of the roster characters for the upcoming fighter, with series veterans like Miguel Caballero from Tekken 6 and popular series fighter Nina Williams being confirmed recently for the title. Williams is in fact playable in the Fated Retribution Arcade update, so Japanese fans have an early chance to get accustomed to the character.
Tekken 7 will release on June 2, 2017 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
