Tekken 7 was recently featured in the Southeast Asia Majors (SEAM) 2015, which was held last June 19 to 20 in Bangkok, Thailand. This event is a gaming tournament among different developers. The said title, of course, is the entry of Bandai Namco, which stood alongside other popular fighting games like Marvel, Mortal Kombat X, as well as Street Fighter.

This update on Tekken 7 was previously mentioned in this website, where SEAM had about 46 players coming from Japan to experience Street Fighter. Likewise, several other gamers will be coming from a number of Asian countries, the US, Australia, as well as Germany.

When it comes to the features of Tekken 7, there have been complaints about the appearances of some characters, particularly with the costumes. Katsuhiro Harada, who is the game director, explained why this was the case. For one thing, there is only a minimal time gap in the setting of the upcoming title compared to the 5th and 6th release. That is why most of the characters simply look the same.

Bandai Namco's Harada also gave a statement about the characters for the game as it goes, "Currently, we have four new characters (note that this was in a past interview). But later on, we'll continue to add them through updates, so look forward to it. We don't plan on reducing the number of characters so yes, we're thinking of adding more."

Lastly, a report from AttackOfTheFanBoy mentions the Kazuya Mishima action figure which will be sent to stores once completed. The appearance of the character is based on how he is in Tekken 7. However, the one seen on the internet is still in its early ages, without much color yet. With this announcement, fans are hoping for more action figures to be made.

Tekken 7 is expected to be released in August 2015, where platforms to be supported would be the Xbox One as well as the PS4. At the same time, PC users who want to experience the game will also be pleased to know that such version is in the works.
