This game has a special place in my heart. I’ve spent many hours in the video game shop next to my colony, jamming away at those red buttons and swinging that joystick from one side to the other. And to hear that the 3D Fighting game Tekken 7 is currently in development, it does more than just make my day.
The game may be announced officially in the next couple of days at the EVO 2014 fighting game event taking place in Las Vegas this weekend, but this news leaked early. It first came out when a Tekken 7 logo flashed on one of the projection monitors at the event, and then with a video report from IGN posted to AOL.com.
According to this video, Tekken 7 will use Unreal Engine 4. Series Executive Producer and Game Director Katsuhiro Harada is quoted as saying that “with Unreal Engine 4, we can rapidly achieve visual quality expected on next-gen platforms and go beyond it. Not only is Unreal Engine 4 powerful and easy to use, it allows us to immediately bring Tekken 7 to any platform we desire.”
Tekken publisher Bandai Namco has yet to announced a release date and for what platforms Tekken 7 is being developed.
Earlier this year, Harada said he’s working on multiple new projects, and that he hopes to unveil two or three of them in 2014.
