Tekken 7's First Guest DLC Character Is Geese Howard From Fatal Fury, King of Fighters

Geese master

by Robert Ramsey Mon 17th Jul 2017

The tyrant that is Geese Howard will be bring his oppressive fighting style to Tekken 7 in the winter of this year, Bandai Namco has confirmed at Evo 2017. The first of two planned downloadable content characters - who are also part of the title's season pass - Geese was shown in his all of his 3D glory via the trailer that we've embedded above.

Will you be trying out this Fatal Fury and King of Fighters veteran? Let us know if you guessed the first DLC character correctly in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

Only two characters and from a different game when we have so many characters from the Tekken franchise that are not in game? LOL

@viciousarcanum First DLC is Tekken Bowling, so this is technically the second DLC pack even though Geese is the first guest character.

@AFCC The hope is that some past characters get added in free updates but the longer we go without confirmation the less likely it becomes.

The developer has at least said that returning characters won't be paid DLC, so that's something.

Tekken VS Street Fighter VS KoF. Now we just need Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat.

Also don't forget about about the new Arika game that officially got confirmed for PS4 next year with classic Street Fghter EX characters including Skullomania

You see Robert? We ask for more SNK coverage and the news appear out of nowhere because I never saw this coming.

Ironically he looks better here than in KOFXIV. Wonderful.

Haha this is cool. I wonder what the chances of a Mortal Kombat character actually are? Would be neat to have someone from Virtua Fighter, too.

It's nice to get someone actually really cool as a guest character, I've always found Akuma exceedingly lame, just like the series he comes from. Also love this rendition of Geese's theme, it better be in the game too!

Such an awesome announcement! Although I am baffled why SNK does this kind of thing - first Mai guesting in DOA5, now Geese in Tekken 7. Are they trying to call attention to the fact that King of Fighters XIV looks way worse than other fighting games?

Oh well; on the flipside, maybe its giving them a good visual target to shoot for with the next game. Maybe Samurai Shodown VII will run on Unreal 4 and look as good as their competitors' games? One can dream crossing fingers

Still, its hard to find a guest character both as cool as Akuma and someone who could seriously threaten Heihachi and Kazuya in this World, but Geese Howard is an EXCELLENT choice, and I'm definitely looking forward to checking him out in the future!
