Eurogamer.pt is reporting that Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada has formally announced the development of a seventh instalment in the venerable beat ‘em up franchise during an event in Madrid.
That’s about all we know on the subject unfortunately, with Harada only offering confirmation on the game’s development and the fact it is currently in the pre-production stages.
Presumably the game will hit arcades first before making the transition to home consoles as with previous instalments in the series. The most recent entry, Tekken 6, hit PS3, 360 and PSP back in fall 2009.
Stay tuned for more information as we get it.
