It's the great mystery of our time: why hasn't Tekken 7 been properly revealed for the PlayStation 4 yet? The game's been playable in Japanese arcades since the start of the year, and we assumed that it would be officially announced for Sony's new-gen console at the Tokyo Game Show – but news has been scarcer than Christie Monteiro's clothes.
Well, according to Spanish site Koi Nya, we'll all be happily juggling pandas on the PS4 in 2016. The site, er, cites marketing manager David Fraile for the release window news – so surely we'll learn more soon, right? We sincerely hope so, because between this and console exclusive Street Fighter V, it could be a big 12 months for fighters.

Tekken is easily my number one fighting game series. I remember renting Tekken Tag Tournament for PS2 so many times because there wasn't really a place to buy games in my small country hometown. It was so much fun, and now we're looking to get both Tekken 7 and Pokken Tournament in the same timeframe? Count me extremely hyped! All I need now is an Injustice 2 announcement.
As much as I love Tekken they need to reboot the series like Netherrealm did with Mortal Kombat. Still I will be picking this up no doubt.
Tekken was the first playstation game i ever played! So it will always have a special place wit me
I'm more interested in finding out what happened with Tekken X Street Fighter
@DualWielding agreed - been waiting for it for idk ages
@ topic - I love Tekken ever since, but I also hope they work on the graphics until they release it on PS4/One. Lookin at gameplay footage Tekken7 looks like a mediocre PS3 game so far - no improvements over the last ones technically
@consolfreak1982 @DualWielding According to Namco it's still in development. Last I heard they switched it from last gen to current gen and that's why it's taking longer.
Hopefully Namco can release a new sc and ridge racer game too.....
I love a bit of Tekken even though I truly get battered online.
@Tasuki
I agree the series could use a bit of a shakeup with 7. I loved Tekken 1-3 and 5 but 6 was a massive letdown. Tekken Tag 2 was fun but I look at those games as side diversions more than anything else.
@Tasuki that would be awesome - I think that developing for both last and current gen holds the current gen (=PS4/One) versions back and developers should finally start to stop supporting the old consoles and primarily focus on PS4/One or at least port those versions to the old consoles after they released.
Tekken itself has always been massive fun - I also hope for new fun modes as well ^^
Been playing Tekken since day 1 , played the online games religiously and live the fact namco puts it in arcades first to get balancing right, between street fighter and this I will be having a busy year next year
