Nina Williams Is Back for Blood in Tekken 7

Time to die

by Robert Ramsey Wed 27th Jan 2016

Wow, who saw this one coming? Bandai Namco has revealed that Nina Williams will be taking part in the next Iron Fist Tournament, and honestly, she's looking deadlier than ever. The first thing that you'll probably notice is that one of her costumes is a torn and tatty wedding dress - and she's had her face slightly redesigned to boot.

As you'd expect, her Tekken 7 reveal trailer shows off some of her moves, and it's nice to see that she's retained many of her trademark techniques. Oh, and she still has that "time to die" intro - what's not to like?

Will Nina be your main when Tekken 7 launches later this year? Try to act surprised in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Slightly more excited at this point that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is going to be backwards compatible on Xbox One. Apparently, it slipped early, and there were reports on NeoGAF and Reddit that it worked, and worked really well.

Sadly, it was taken down, and I couldn't verify this with my physical copy of the game, but it's probably going to get added in soon for real, and the fact that people say it ran well has real good implications for the other fighters down the road.

I have always preferred Anna, but Nina is fine.

Is it not Ciri from Witcher 3? Can we also have Triss Marigold.

I am so thrilled that Nina is finally announced. She's always been my favorite. I remember when my brother, our young uncle, and I were kids and were playing Tekken 3 on PS1, we joked my mom and Nina looked alike.

I'll stick with DOA 5 Last Round... Tekken 7 should be ashamed that DOA 5 LR looks better even though it is a remaster and Tekken 7 is a native PS4 game

Don't worry, it will get toned down once the SJWs get wind of this.

About freaking time, Namco. It's not a Tekken game without Nina in it.

@ferrarimanf355 That sounds great now you can play you old games again.
I moved on and started playing new games, i still own my PS3 that I dont use
anymore i want to play new games or the remasterd old ones. I sold most of my old games anyway. Im glad I can play a good looking RE0 and 1 instead of playing them with BC with graphics from ages ago.
