Big Tekken 7 Update Brings Loads of New Customisation Items This Month

Dress to impress

by Robert Ramsey Wed 23rd May 2018

Tekken 7 is almost a year old -- not counting the arcade version, at least -- and those of you still playing it may be happy to know that a big update is landing at the end of the month. There's no word on balance changes or anything like that, but Bandai Namco has confirmed that it'll add a bunch of new customisation items to the game. If you like dressing up your favourite characters, you're in for a treat.

Courtesy of director Katsuhiro Harada, you can see what'll be made available on the 31st May 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.

That’s cool, I’ve been playing Street Fighter V as of late but I seriously need to get back into Tekken.

@shonenjump86 That's the only thing I don't like about SFV...the customization options are nothin' compared to Namco's games!

I heard from a buddy. I'm glad Nina gets her jumpsuit and I've been waiting for the Lars outfit. I'm not gonna complain.

I do hope there's more stuff in the pipeline, preferably returning characters. I love Tekken, but compared to games like Injustice 2 and SFV it's been thin on significant post release content.

@DerMeister They need to announce a second season of DLC, in my opinion. Like you say, the post-launch support has been really lacking. Doesn't help that Tekken Bowl sank like a rock and only Geese seemed to be a hit with the community — any hype for Noctis seemed to die out fast.

In an ideal world I'd love to see a bunch of veteran characters get added. I'd also like to see them add team battle, maybe even ghost battle.

Honestly, I expected them to build on Tekken 7 more than they have done.

@ShogunRok Agreed. I'm actually kinda disappointed with how it's been handled. Hopefully this could be a sign that there's more on the way. I enjoy playing T7, but it needs more. I want more.
