News Eliza's Back for Blood in New Tekken 7 Trailer
Drink up
Eliza caused a bit of a stir when she was originally plopped into free-to-play PlayStation 3 title Tekken Revolution. A vampire who has access to a few long-range attacks and a series of not-typically-Tekken moves, many players thought that she was just a touch too anime for the property - and to be fair, she does sort of stand out, even as...

News Tekken 7 Delayed to Avoid Mistakes of Games Like Street Fighter V
Whiff punish
The good news is that Tekken 7 has a confirmed PlayStation 4 release date - the bad news is that the game is no longer launching in early 2017. Now pegged for release on the 2nd June, the delay is admittedly a little hard to stomach since we've been waiting so long to begin with, but it's all for a good cause, according to director...

We haven't seen all that much of Tekken 7 running on a PlayStation 4 - or anything outside of an arcade unit for that matter - but thanks to the power of YouTube, we're able to share the latest build of the game running on Sony's console. The footage, posted by TrueTekken, is taken from the title's recent Nordic Tour. Featuring Miguel and...
Rumour Vampire Fighter Eliza Returns in Tekken 7's Deluxe Edition
Along with an extra game mode
Okay, who remembers Eliza, the very-anime vampire from free-to-play title Tekken Revolution?

News You Can Expect Plenty of Single Player Content from Tekken 7 on PS4
Tekken back the crown
Fighting games are quite strange beasts these days.

The bottom line is that times have changed; we remember the days when Tekken, for example, was a massive...

His rage knows no bounds
Spanish brawler Miguel is back for another round in Tekken 7, a lovely new character trailer confirms.

News Tekken 7's Cinematic Fighting System Aims to Take Story Mode to the Next Level
Combo breaker
Tekken 7 is changing things up with its cinematic approach to combat. We've known for ages now that the brawler will feature a slow motion mechanic that kicks in when players land a crushing blow or a finishing move, but the title's story mode aims to take this idea even further. As hinted in the game's E3 2016 trailer, Bandai Namco...

News Don't Expect Any More Street Fighters in Tekken 7
That'd be Tekken the p*ss
In case you haven't heard, Akuma is going to be in Tekken 7.

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.
