In addtion, another character and a new feature are set to arrive before the end of the year with yet another character and stage to be added early next year. Gags like Street Fighter 2's Sheng Long and Ghost 'N Goblins' ending still hurt a. What we have confirmed so far is that Zafina will be out in September and then next in line will be Leroy. Evo 2019's Tekken 7 Snake tease is the latest cruel joke the video game industry has played on unsuspecting fans. In addition to them, the trailer teased that we can expect another character and a new feature to arrive Zafina is set to be released in September with Leroy Smith to follow shortly after. Aside from that, we will also get to see an updated user interface, expanding Practice functionality, and “My Replay & Tips.”
#TEKKEN 7 SNAKE UPDATE#
After his long disappearance, Leroy has returned to New York with extreme vengeance in mind.Īside from the announcement of the new characters, Bandai Namco has also informed us that there will be a major update involving new moves for all characters. As mentioned in the trailer, Leroy was introduced as a master martial artist who went missing for a couple of years after he and his family were caught up in a large-scale gang fight in New York. It even appeared as though she had some of his powers, an interesting to look out for when she is released.Īpart from Zafina, we also get to see a brand-new character, Leroy Smith. In the trailer, Zafina is seen holding the orb of Azazel, the villain she defeated in TEKKEN 6. She was initially introduced in the TEKKEN 6 storyline and also appeared in TEKKEN Tag Tournament 2. What the trailer did reveal, however, is the return of Zafina. We also saw The Walking Dead character, Negan appearing as TEKKEN 7 fighters during the trailer. We have seen Akuma from Street Fighter as well as Noctis from Final Fantasy 15. However, even without Snake, Bandai Namco has managed to land some extremely impressive characters. It was not intended to imply a character reveal, and was done on our own, without consulting Bandai Namco. Tekken 7's DLC roster so far has included Noctis from Final Fantasy 15 and Negan from The Walking Dead, and Snake has already shown off his fighting game bonafides in two different Smash Bros. Just to clear things up, the Snake cameo video that we showed during Tekken finals was our idea of a little joke. Sadly, EVO admitted that this was just a joke on Twittter. It didn't matter that the announcement didn't come. This set the rumor mill abuzz with rampant speculation that this all but confirms that Snake is coming to the game. Snake's tease prior to EVO 2019 Tekken 7 tournament's finals is a perfect example of how exciting and emotional the fighting game scene can be. However, the audience at EVO were shown a short tease a Metal Gear Solid-style codec video that was not made available to the public. Rumors that Metal Gear Solid’s Snake might be coming to Tekken have been circulating, but there had been little to no evidence to support this claim. Joseph Knoop is a writer/producer for IGN, and he'll stick to Soul Calibur, thankyouverymuch.John Bryan Zabat, Correspondent | Bandai Namco officially released the trailer for the TEKKEN 7 Season Pass 3 during EVO 2019, and we cannot contain our excitement.

Solid Snake will just have to be satisfied with his guest role in Super Smash Bros. The video appeared to play both an image of and the audio from Solid Snake's codec radio, leading many to believe that Snake was being teased as a new character for Tekken 7. The confusion began earlier Sunday when, shortly before the Tekken 7 Grand Finals, a short video appeared onscreen on the Mandalay Bay stage. It was not intended to imply a character reveal, and was done on our own, without consulting Bandai Namco.
