News Tekken 7's Newest Character Summons a Tiger to Do Her Dirty Work
Eye of the tiger
Tekken 7's adding another animal to the character roster, kind of. This time, there's a tiger entering the fray, but there is a catch in that it's actually part of newcomer Kazumi Mishima's moveset. Kazumi's Heihachi's wife, and Kazuya's mother, adding yet more fuel to the already dysfunctional family's fire. While her fighting...
News Oh No, Jack's Got Hold of Some Hair Dye in Tekken 7
Mechanical muscle man returns
A character who's featured in every Tekken title to date, Jack's back in Tekken 7. The mechanical maniac rarely gets much of a visual overhaul, but he does appear to have gotten his massive robot hands on some hair dye this time around, as evidenced by his bright red mohawk hairdo. He looks much the same as we remember...
News What the Heck Has Happened to Tekken 7's Yoshimitsu?
Ho no
Alright, who sent Bandai Namco's ordinary art department on vacation?

While his dizzying attacks certainly look...
News Tekken 7 Gets a Brand New Character, Could Be One of the Strangest Yet
Gigantic power
We're not quite sure what to make of Gigas, Tekken 7's newly announced combatant. The franchise is no stranger to weird and wonderful characters, of course, with its playable roster including the likes of Roger the boxing kangaroo, Kuma the fighting bear, and Yoshimitsu the seemingly eternal warrior - just to name a few - but Gigas...

News Tekken 7's Opening Cinematic Is Hot Stuff
Open a window
Tekken 7's likely a while off yet, but that hasn't stopped us from getting all excited about its arcade opening. Featuring father and son duo Heihachi and Kazuya, it's nice to see that the good old family bond is still there. Throwing relatives into volcanoes is a favourite pastime of the Mishima, so it's no wonder that the two...
News Shaheen Shows Off His Glorious Shoes in Tekken 7 Art
Lord of the rings
We never posted about Tekken 7's previous character announcement. The fact is that we were way too busy to get around to it, but we also couldn't find the words to do it justice. For those of you with your finger on the industry's pulse, you'll be all too aware of the controversy that Lucky Chloe caused. And if you're not – well,...

News Study With a Virtual Reality Schoolgirl on PS4, Thanks to Tekken Team and Project Morpheus
Oh, Harada...
Project Morpheus is exciting tech for PlayStation 4. The potential, the possibilities — its only limit is the imagination of the developers working with it. And, well, if you're Katsuhiro Harada, head of the Tekken development team, then a virtual reality headset brings only one thing to mind: a schoolgirl. That's right, Summer...

News Leaked PS4 Brawler Tekken 7 Gets a Tense New Teaser Trailer
Tekken it to the streets
Keeping secrets in the video game industry is akin to sailing across the ocean in a boat made out of Swiss cheese: eventually you're going to have some leaks.

News The Producer of Tekken Wants to Continue the Series on PS4
Tekken his sweet time
When it comes to competitive fighting games, the PlayStation 4 is a bit lacking. We got an enhanced version of the superhero themed Injustice: Gods Among Us at launch, but that's about it.

King of fighters
Tekken may no longer command the clout in the fighting community that it once used to, but this particular author’s still an enormous fan.
