Tekken 7: Fated Retributionwill be getting a test-run in select Japanese arcades next week on February 14 before a full release on the stand-up machines comes to pass, but thankfully, console fans won’t be left out of the fun. During Paris Games Week 2015, Namco Bandai producer and game director Katsuhiro Harada announced that the fighting title will be getting aPlayStation 4 release and PlayStation VR support.

Considering everything that’s been shown forTekken 7: Fated Retributionthus far, it’s obvious that Katsuhiro Harada is definitely willing to take some risks by shaking up the series' gameplay elements, and it looks like most, if not all of them will pay off in the end. SomeTekkenpurists may be put off by the inclusion of a crossover character like Akuma, since the franchise usually sticks to original fighters, but he seems like a perfect fit. At any rate, it will be interesting to see how fans react to Japanese arcade tests and toTekken 7’s presence as a part ofthe EVO 2016 lineup.
