After the epic Marvel vs. Capcom 3 final between Justin Wong and Chris G at Evo 2014 this evening, Tekken creator, Katsuhiro Harada took to the stage to give fans a bit of a treat.

In front of a packed house in Las Vegas this evening, Harada-san took to the stage to announce the already leaked Tekken 7, showing off a trailer of the title, joking to pretend that fans didn’t see this announcement coming.

There wasn’t really much to the CGI trailer apart from a few familiar names, like Kazuya and Heihachi cropping up, but the important takeaway is that the latest Tekken title is coming.

No mention of platforms just yet, but the trailer – and Harada-san – did say that fans should expect more on Tekken 7 from the fighting panel on July 25th at this year’s Comic Con.

Harada-san said that he wasn’t done with the surprises this year too and to expect more, so stay tuned on that front.

  • Glad to see some Next gen fighters. MKX and Possibly Tekken 7 in 2015. Bring on some Soul Calibur and we are in business.
  • Nice! But the real uestion is..will be be on Xbox 360/Ps3, Xbox One/PS4 or all consoles? Guess we have to wait tillJuly 25th to find out.
  • Sigh...... I guess TxSF will never see the light of day :(
  • likely late 2015 or early 2016 tekken x street fighter is still coming dont expect them to release fighting games back to back its not smart marketing
  • Here's hoping it's a full, proper game and not this free-to-play garbage Namco's been churning out lately.
  • @2 its using Unreal Engine 4...So I'm assuming Xbox One/PS4.
  • Anyway, it was Kasumi or Kazumi in the trailer. People are thinking it's Kazuya's mum/Heihachi's waifu. The yawn inducing Mishima family drama rattles on... Yoshi Ono's non announcement announcement with no translator was like watching a new Borat type character debut. That's a good thing. Those BlazBlue and USF4 finals are worth watching.
  • my childhood
  • Sweet, but I still need to finish those darn Tekken Tag 2 online achievements. If only someone would help...
  • Mmmmm hmmm does anyone really REALLY care about how story in these games? I just play then cause they're hella fun. But the story is so pointless
  • Hell yes. Tekken is the best fighting franchise ever.
  • UE4? Yeah, that's gonna be PS4 and Xbox One.
  • @11 I liked the story, til they fucked over Jin Kazama's character as a protagonist and made him more of an antagonist after winning Iron Fist Tournament 5(Tekken 5) thus becoming the head of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Kazuya has always been evil like Heihachi so I don't understand the stupid "You killed my mother!" line he says in this Tekken 7 trailer. REALLY, Kazuya? It took you this many games to say that to him? Where did that come from? And if that drive of specific conflict was always there, why bother barely bringing it up now? Why would he even care? He's Kazuya. He killed your mom? Get the frick over it, that was like a million Tekkens ago! Unless that's Jin but it isn't because Ogre killed Jun, not Heihachi. They dun fucked up.
  • Tekken needs to drop 60% combos and come up with some "Gauge Mechanism" system of any kind, to add some depth &strategy to the gameplay.high damage long combos should be much harder to pull to make it high risk,high reward.should be only doable 1-2times per round.(SFIV,KOF XIII,Blazblue,MK9,...) a fighting game is not meant to be Button mashing. that may be good for hack n slash but not for fighting genre. these are facts so dont bother to argue, Tekken fans. U MUST NOT BE ABLE TO PULL A 65% COMBO WITHOUT ANY EFFORT, 2 SECONDS AFTER THE START OF A MATCH, WHILE THE OPPONENT CAN ONLY WATCH.
  • @15 Thanks, you're 100% right! I'm a long time fan of the series but was never into it when it came to PvP due to playing 1-5 on last Gen. When I try to find a casual match, all I find are fucking tryhards pulling bullshit combos like that every step of the way while I can't even do anything. This game needs to change if it wants to stay relevant.
