Hardcore Gamer cited that the game will come along with several modes and enhancements that will go beyond its arcade counterpart. And aside from Kazumi Mishima, other new fighter characters will also grace the new game including Claudio, Josie, Lucky Chloe, Gigas, Katarina and Shaheen. Publisher Bandai Namco also announced that the game will be released in North America, Latin America and Brazil for home systems.
And since the game is going west, IGN reported that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe President and CEO Jim Ryan announced that "Tekken 7" will be having a 3D version as it will be coming to PlayStation VR. Further details have not been revealed yet so questions regarding it still remain unanswered.
One particular question is how it will work with VR since the fighting game is played in the third person and all games announced in PlayStation VR are played in the first person.
