Well, we never saw that coming. After hinting that nothing too huge would be shown at EVO 2018 for Tekken 7, director Katsuhiro Harada took to the main stage following the game's tournament and revealed... A lot of stuff.
First off, Tekken 7 is getting a second season pass. This will include six new characters, including returning fighters Anna Williams and the much requested Lei Wulong. Both have brand new designs and look pretty darn cool.
The weirdest news here, though, is that Negan, from The Walking Dead, will also be joining the roster. Yeah, we can't believe that's quite real either, but here we are. Weird.
If that wasn't enough, the season 2 trailer shows whole new Tekken 7 gameplay mechanics, including a kind of wall bounce that sends opponents back into the range of their attackers. New moves for existing characters also look like they're going to be added.
Tekken 7's season pass 2 is coming soon, but are you hyped? Practice your drunken fist in the comments section below.

EVO really is the E3 of fighting games now. Holy cow.
AKA the most one-dimensional villain in the whole show.
So, a second season pass? Not too stellar.
And...Negan? I mean after Noctis anything is possible....
Wow. That's just... awesome.
Guarantee 95% of hardcore Tekken players don't give a damn about this guy from TWD, but... Lei Wulong and Anna plus three more? That's where the hype is.
Add team battle and add a feature to remove the freaking super moves from offline battles.
They did get Lei and Anna who were pretty much the two characters I would have had return first so that's good at least.
I hope Julia Chang is among one of the characters in the season pass. And as much as I like Walking Dead... I didn’t see that coming, but I’ll take this over that Final Fantasy guy.
I swear, if this Walking Dead guy is in over Kiryu I'm gonna...
I'M GONNA...
...do absolutely nothing because my influence over DLC characters is literally zip.
That or I'll just wait until Tekken 7 gets an eventual complete edition and it's on sale.
Yeah negan does nothing for me. Where is Kiryu????
I’ve got a lot of time for Harada’s trolling this weekend. 🤣
Negan, even more random then Noctis. Not too late for them to include Nashandra from DS2, Naomi from MGS, or Nero Cortex from Crash.
I'd take a season 2 of Tekken 7 over season 2 of TWD any day. Hopefully this is comics Negan instead of the show version because as much as I love JDM, he can't really capture the same spirit the comics do.
Negan is an unexpected but a cool character to have! I kinda don't like WD much nowadays but I still see it since I want to know how it ends...but this makes me want to buy the season pass
Super excited about Lei and Anna! Negan is just....really weird.
Used to love playing as lei wulong back in the day, drunken master style rules!!!
Urgh. Negan. Awful character. Surely a better fit for soul calibur with lucille too. Lei and Anna good aditions. Christie and Julia too please
Weird crossover but playing as Negan could be cool
And still no Kiryu? Harada... please.
Don't care about Walking Dead. Glad to see Anna and Lei back, but I gotta admit those designs aren't doing too much for me. Lei looks like a bum PE teacher and Anna just raided Eliza's closet.
Weregarurumon needs a spot in Tekken.
