News Tekken 7's Opening Movie Is One of the Best in the Series
Doesn't beat Tekken 5's, though
Bandai Namco has revealed Tekken 7's opening movie, and we reckon it's really good. It takes cutscenes from throughout the game's story mode and pieces them together to create a rather serious tone that works well. Obviously the underlying plot here is that Heihachi and Kazuya are going to have one last showdown, and...

Hands On Is Tekken 7 the True Return of PlayStation's Most Iconic Fighter?
We put our Iron Fists to the test in latest PS4 build
There was a time when Tekken was easily one PlayStation's most beloved franchises. Namco's fighting game series was a household name back in the 90s, but it's never quite enjoyed the same level of success since. Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 basically wrote the book on 3D beat-'em-ups, but PS2 sequel...

News Eliza's Back for Blood in New Tekken 7 Trailer
Drink up
Eliza caused a bit of a stir when she was originally plopped into free-to-play PlayStation 3 title Tekken Revolution.

News Tekken 7 Delayed to Avoid Mistakes of Games Like Street Fighter V
Whiff punish
The good news is that Tekken 7 has a confirmed PlayStation 4 release date - the bad news is that the game is no longer launching in early 2017.

Rumour Vampire Fighter Eliza Returns in Tekken 7's Deluxe Edition
Along with an extra game mode
Okay, who remembers Eliza, the very-anime vampire from free-to-play title Tekken Revolution?
