Bandai Namco has canceled its 2020 circuits for Tekken 7, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and Soulcalibur VI due to the covid-19 pandemic. Online events are being planned to make up for the lack of competition.

Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada has finally responded to the popular fan request that Yakuza protagonist Kazuma Kiryu join the cast of Tekken 7. Apparently, the Bandai Namco board members believe Harada himself is a better fit for Yakuza. I’ll take either option, to be honest.

Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada announced at Evo 2019 tonight that Tekken 7 will receive a third season of downloadable content. This season will include the return of Zafina as well as debut a brand new original character, Leroy Smith. The existing cast will also receive updated moves.

Arslan “Arslan Ash” Siddique steamrolled his competition to win Tekken 7 at Evo 2019. The Pakistani competitor has been on an absolute tear since his surprise victory at Evo Japan, and this latest championship ties a nice little bow on his burgeoning Tekken career.

Bandai Namco announced that Negan from The Walking Dead will be available in Tekken 7 on February 28. He will cost $7.99. Julia Chang will also be available on the same day and will cost $5.99. You can see both characters in action in a newly released trailer.
