"Tekken 7" is planned to be released on PC, Xbox One and PS4 on March 2015. Katsuhiro Harada, the game creator, plans to release the latest of the fighting game series in all platforms after its initial release in arcade.

According to Cross Map, Tekken is hailed to be one of the most successful arcade games for being in good status in the fighting game industry for nearly two decades. Its developer, Bandai Namco initially announced that it will release "Tekken 7" on the arcade but there has been news lately that they will include the Xbox One, PS4 and including PC for its platform release considering that some arcades were already outdated.

A game console release on Xbox One and PS4 and the additional release on the PC will be great news for the fans of the series since they won't need access to a nearby "Tekken 7" Arcade to enjoy their favorite fighting game. If things goes well with their planned release, this will be the first time that "Tekken" will be released to PC since it has always been an arcade and console exclusive game.

"Tekken 7" will feature a new character named Lucky Chloe, however according to Kpopstarz, the character was not received well by the gamers from the west and fans have negative opinion for the latest character to join the roster of the fighters in Tekken.

The game creator, Katsuhiro Harada, reacted jokingly to the negative reception of the Chloe. He said twitted that "We have spent time on game development. Don't worry about that. I'm always hear both side."

Reportedly, "Tekken 7" will use Unreal Engine 4 and this will be the key to allow the game to be released on all platforms including the first time release for the PC. This will definitely increase the game's player base and adopt the emerging trend of multiplatform gaming.

The release of "Tekken 7" on PC, Xbox One and PS4 is set on March 2015, according to Youth Health, and this will be a great move for the Bandai Namco to expand their player base. However the game will come early to Japan, according to Cross Map this February 2015. Stay tuned to our future updates for the western release of the game.
