Read our full Tekken 7 review Killer Instinct Those include Akuma from Street Fighter, Geese Howard from Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters, Noctis Lucis Caelum from Final Fantasy XV, and, strangely, Negan from The Walking Dead. Since launch, Bandai Namco has also partnered with various other studios to bring third-party characters into Tekken 7.
Returning favorites like Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima are present, as well as newcomers in the form of Fahkumram, Shaheen, and Devil Kazumi. The first game to use the Unreal Engine and last game in The Mishima Saga Story, Tekken 7 introduces a variety of new mechanics, making the game more accessible for newcomers while retaining the competitive nature of the community that surrounds it.Īlthough lacking in content upon release, Tekken 7’s roster of characters has grown substantially. Tekken has a long history of being a viciously competitive fighting game, and Tekken 7 is the latest in that lineage. Super Smash Bros., for example, has Melee and Brawl, but we’re only dedicating one slot to Ultimate. In order to not highlight one series too heavily over another, we’re only giving a single slot to any individual game in a franchise.
