‘Tekken 7’ Updates: Kuma/Panda Return & New Online Tournament Console Details Released

In Early 2017, everyone outside of Japan will finally get a chance to play the final chapter in the Mishima Clan storyline.

Tekken 7 has lived in arcades for a good while now, but more and more console release details have been slipping out lately. So far, a few legacy characters have been thrown into the game via the Fated Retribution arcade update – Nina Williams, Bob, Lee Chaolan/Violet, Master Raven and Miguel. Now we can all look forward to catching a few W’s as the Kuma Shinken master and Xiaoyu’s former bodyguard – Kuma and Panda. During the King of Iron Fist 2016 Grand Finals, a new trailer for both characters was unveiled. This newest piece of Tekken 7 footage showed off their moveset and an entirely new stage.

Along with that new update, a few interesting details were released regarding the console edition’s Online Tournament mode. You can read up on all that new info down below:
