Tekken 7 Announced

Bandai Namco Announces Tekken 7 for Xbox One and PS4.

At Evo 2014, Bandai Namco revealed Tekken 7 will be coming to new-gen consoles and run on the Unreal Engine 4.

“With Unreal Engine 4, we could rapidly achieve visual quality expected on next-gen platform and go beyond it," game director Katsuhiro Harada said. "Not only is Unreal Engine 4 powerful and easy to use, but it allows us to immediately bring Tekken 7 to any platform we desire.”

Harada also explained that not needing to develop a new engine for Tekken to function on new hardware gave the development team the chance to "focus our efforts on making Tekken 7 the best possible game."

Previously the game was leaked in the form of a video report posted on AOL.com.

Earlier this year, Harada said that he is working on multiple new projects, with the hope of unveiling two or three of them in 2014.

"Tekken is one of my life's works," he said. "And while I can't say much here, together with the titles we were going to announce this year, I'm also working on several other titles simultaneously with Tekken. From there, I'd like to announce at least two of those titles in 2014, and I feel that it's something I must do."
