Tekken 7 Season 3 Patch Notes Are Here, Huge Balance Changes for All Characters

Season 3 out next week

by Robert Ramsey Thu 5th Sep 2019

Update: As promised, Bandai Namco has released the full patch notes for Tekken 7 Season 3. They feature all of the changes coming to every character, significantly overhauling the balance of the game. You can find the full list of tweaks through here.

Alongside the patch notes, Season 3 has a confirmed release date. The new Season Pass will launch on the 10th September, bringing Zafina to the fight. You can catch all the details in the trailer that we've embedded above. It looks like some neat additions are heading our way.

Original Story: After hinting on Twitter that information regarding Tekken 7's Season 3 balance changes would be arriving today, game designer Michael Murray has now confirmed that there's an "info drop" coming tomorrow instead (that's the 5th September, just to be clear). "Unfortunately our global teams need more time to get everything ready. Info drop coming tomorrow," he writes.

Murray does give a hint at what to expect, however: "Here’s a sneak peak though: no more combo on counter hit from d2 for Mr. Howard anymore." Geese Howard, Tekken 7's first DLC character, has been tearing up the competitive scene lately, with many players agreeing that he needs to be taken down a peg. Clearly the Tekken team's been watching and listening.

Alongside character balancing, the upcoming Season 3 update will give every fighter at least one new move. Season 3 will also include new DLC characters, with Zafina returning at launch and brand new, original fighter Leroy Smith arriving this winter.

What are you hoping to see from Season 3's patch notes? Pray for big old buffs in the comments section below.

A little too much, some might say.

Josie should have a move where Bruce Irvine pops out and joins her when she does her rage drive/art. Or just totally remove her and replace her with Bruce.
