Debut trailer teases "The Final Battle."

Tekken 7

Tekken series producer Katushiro Harada officially announced Tekken 7 at Evo 2014 in Las Vegas.

The fighter sequel, which leaked this morning, was not planned to be announced at Evo, Harada said. But following this morning’s leaks, he had no choice but to confirm it.

“You know, I was surprised just waking up and seeing this news all of a sudden,” Harada said. “The first thought that came into my head, it must have been [Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono].

“But the greatest surprise is that it wasn’t the title I was planning to announce today. But since it is leaked, I have no choice but to announce that certain title. But I didn’t have anything prepared, like a trailer, so I had to go back to my hotel room right away when I found out to put something together for you guys.”

Harada said he has two more unannounced games in development.

Watch the debut trailer for Tekken 7 below. Platforms weren’t announced, but the official YouTube uploads list them for “Arcade.” This morning’s leak included a quote from Harada mentioning “current gen” platforms, as well as the game being powered by Unreal Engine 4. More details will be shared at the San Diego Comic-Con fighting game panel on July 25.

    Nice. Now I have more to look forward to at SDCC than sexy DC figures from Koto.

    • Solomon_Kano

      You best have been looking forward to Arkham Knight :V

      • Six

        I didn’t know it was going to be there. :P Maybe PG’s Korra game will be there too… it would probably be the best time to show it.

        • Solomon_Kano

          But, of course! It’s the Bat’s 75th anniversary, so Warner couldn’t rightly coast by on Shadows of Mordor.

          Definitely would be the best time to show Korra.

  • Paul Rodriguez

    ??

    • Six

      Probably the Mishima feud.

      • Paul Rodriguez

        Would be interesting to see where the story goes if that is the case.

  • BlueCereal

    YESS!!!! Are the doing away with the multiple languages thing and going for Japanese and English only though? Hope not.

  • Guy Incognito

    How can this be any better Tekken Tag 2

  • The Grim Heaper

    yes harada, this certainly wasn’t the game you were announcing today

    it suuuuuure wasn’t

    • icup ✔️

      he had 3 working titles… i’m sure one of the title might’ve been “more hyped” but he said whatever just one today.

  • Paul Rodriguez

    Really excited for this. Been a Tekken fan for as long as I can remember. Wish I still had my GBA game, but it’s life was cut short when it met the floor.

    • Paul Rodriguez

      Forgot Street Fighter x Tekken

      • http://shinsua.tumblr.com/ Shinsua

        I honestly don’t think anyone’s going to hound you about forgetting SFxT.

    • Comandante Bushido

      Death by degrees… best bewbs ever

    • PrinceHeir

      We have the same collection aside from Tekken 3DS and Death By Degrees :)

      Awesome stuff! You even bought the LE of Tekken Hybrid ^^

    • Budgiecat

      Where’s your tekken PS2 box set, tekken 5 arcade stick and tekken Anime movie

  • Derry Santoso

    Please PC release!!

    • Paul Rodriguez

      Lots of games that were console only found their way to PC so I do not see any reason why it can’t happen with Tekken 7.

      • doubleO7

        Especially since it’ll be running on Unreal Engine 4. Should make it fairly easy to port.

        • IHateTrolls

          There are console exclusive UE4 titles. I’d give it a 50-50 chance. Since outside of MMO and other dating sim games. PC market really isn’t popular at all in Japan.

    • Budgiecat

      why

  • DarthBrian

    I guess it’s too much to hope that that was Jun in that trailer.

    • Paul Rodriguez

      Yeah judging from the trailer I doubt that’s her. Poor Jun Kazama. She rarely gets Tekken love.

      • DarthBrian

        That is why Tekken Tag Tournament 1 was the best Tekken game ever.

        That and Tekken Bowling.

    • doubleO7

      Based on the “Heihachi and Kazumi” carving at the end, that was presumably Kazuya’s mother/Heihachi’s wife.

  • Paul Rodriguez

    So I guess the dream of Tekken x Street Fighter is dead.

    Can’t believe it’s already been 4 years since the announcement

    • Bobby Jennings

      Agreed

  • bloodiOS

    English dubs? Ssooo weeeeeiiiiiirrrrrrrdddddddd~~
    So it’s grandma Kazumi’s turn to play, how will you react to this shit, Jin ^_^

  • http://gematsu.com/ Sal Romano

    I wonder if Harada will be back to announce what he planned on announcing tonight then?

    • Bobby Jennings

      Hopefully a Tekken X Street Fighter release date…

      • Budgiecat

        with new character: Bobby Jennings (pro boxer)

        • Bobby Jennings

          And you’re going to be my first victim :P

    • doubleO7

      I doubt it’ll be tonight. *Maybe* next week at their SDCC panel where we’ll learn more about Tekken 7 (and where it was presumably going to be announced had the leak not happened).

  • Bob Slim

    WOW a eng dub this time cool

  • PrinceHeir

    Yay thanks for providing the JPN voice link Sal :)

    Kazuya STILL has the same voice actor since Tekken 4 :)

    Awesome!!

    • Rafael Martines

      At first my ears bled with the english trailer, but that JPN trailer Oh god yeah!

  • Guardian Byakko

    Badass Devil Jin will reign

  • Quiet Gear Soild

    So he was going to announced another title, but since it’s was leaked.
    I’ll bet that title he was going to announce is Tekken X street Fighter.

    • Marco Tinè

      I’d love to be as optimistic as you, but Harada was probably referring to something along the lines of Rise of the Incarnates…

    • icup ✔️

      considering the announcement took place right before ultra sfiv top 8… yes it might had something to do with street fighter.

  • sakanaとkoeda

    Dude. Good year for hype.

  • IHateTrolls

    Its given it will release for the PS4 and X1. But will it release for the PC? I’d say maybe. There are other console exclusive UE4 titles.

    • icup ✔️

      has a tekken game ever been released on pc?

      • IHateTrolls

        Nope.

  • British_Otaku

    Looking forward to this, but even I came around the Tekken 3 and Tekken 2 (mostly played Tekken 3), I’m not fond of a cut cast of characters (the story implies it is going to be dropping bombs and bring some finality) even if it justified by characters dying/retiring in canon for fighting games. >_>

    So I hope they don’t drop someone I enjoy though I guess I can wait for Tekken Tag Tournament Three in another decade or something. I don’t mind having a story, just wouldn’t be happy with a DBZ game which ignores Raditz because he dies in the beginning and gets mentioned less than Saibamen.

  • Rafael Martines

    Sure the game first will be released in Arcades… one year later on consoles… so 2016?

    • icup ✔️

      the arcade is more of a “still testing” phase by having players give feedback.

    Kazumi’s wiki page-http://eng.tekkenpedia.com/wiki/Kazumi_Mishima

  • Nesther

    Hopefully this entry will re-introduce Gon and his farts.

    • Rafael Martines

      Namco don’t own the rights of Gon :(

  • Aldridge517

    Kingdom Hearts 3 is in full development, Dimps is making another DBZ game, AND Harada just announced Tekken 7. I’m liking 2014 :D
