Tekken 7 was released in Japanese arcades in March of last year, and was confirmed for PlayStation 4 during Sony’s Paris Game Week press conference in October. This version of the game will be the most up to date available, and will likely include the Fated Retribution update seen in the arcade edition. 

This latest instalment in the venerable fighting series focuses on the long-running feud between the Mishima clan, specifically that of Heihachi and his son, Kazuya. Aside from a number of new characters joining the brawl, Tekken 7 also includes numerous familiar faces, such as Paul, Law, Jin, Jack, and Asuka. 

Tekken has been going for over 20 years now, having first launched in arcades back in 1994 and later joining the initial library of PlayStation One titles. The franchise has become synonymous with the PlayStation brand ever since, despite having recently become a multiplatform series, and has sold over 44 million copies worldwide as of March 2015.
