A new Tekken 7 update is also launching alongside the new character, bringing not only support for the new DLC content but other tweaks. The full update notes have yet to be revealed, so very little is currently known about the balance and gameplay changes coming very soon to the game.
Tekken 7 is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One worldwide. The game is among the best fighting games released in recent times, as highlighted by Dave in his review.
But that struggle just might be worth it – Tekken 7’s wonderfully weighty and skillful combat is so satisfying to learn it’s almost impossible not to recommend. Awkwardly mashing out inefficient combos when you first start playing slowly morphs into a careful game of footsies and anticipation, and there are moments of true elation when combos you’ve been working on diligently in Practice mode get their moment to shine against a real player, as you juggle them across the stage before bashing them against a wall.
What else is there to say? Tekken is back, and with its seventh installment has created one of the very best competitive fighters on modern consoles. Whether you’re a noob that wants to button mash against friends or a fighting game pro, Tekken 7 is worth it. Just don’t expect the story mode to be anything more than a short diversion.
