Tekken 7 is coming to consoles and PC very soon, and a new video has been released by Bandai Namco to show off what’s available in its newest fighter. As with any new fighting game, Tekken 7 comes with a set of mechanical gimmicks. There are universal mechanics like Rage Arts, Rage Drives, Power Crushes and some kind of “super slow-mo” abilities. Tekken ’s trademark stage transitions are also showed off in the video.
After the brief rundown of mechanics, the video moves on to introduce Tekken 7 ’s content modes. The story mode is called The Mishima Saga this time around, and comes with a feature for casual players called Story Assist. This will let players use more complicated techniques with simpler inputs.
The Tekken 7 online mode is shown off, with everything one would expect. You can play in ranked matches, unranked matches and tournaments, which can net winners additional in-game currency. Online has Arcade, Versus and Practice modes as well as the usual silly Tekken Stuff. Customization is back as well, which takes your in-game currency and turns it into silly items to change your favorite characters’ appearances. You can even mess around with things like the lifebars. Finally, Tekken 7 features a gallery mode, which appears to show art and even full video cutscenes from the rest of the Tekken series.
Tekken 7 is set to launch on June 2 2017 for PS4, Xbox One and PC. It certainly looks exciting.
