Tekken 7
Release: 2017
Availability: PS4, Xbox, PC
The next stage in one of the most venerated fighting games of all time, Tekken 7 looks to take a step forward in its design. Adding two new battle mechanics, the first allowing for more power when health is critical and the second allowing attacks while being hit, are sure to change the way the game is played both professionally and casually. Tekken 7 has actually already seen life in Japan thanks to an early release, but the word is good. 7’s story is anticipated to be “darker” and offer resolution to long running plot threads. It is also clear that Namco Bandai is really targeting eSports with this title, similar to Capcom and Street Fighter V. Where SFV stumbled, however, was a massive lack of content at the beginning; something Tekken 7 seems intent on not replicating. Expect to see a lot of this game on Twitch in the new year.
