With newcomer Kazumi Mishima joining the fight, the epic battle between father and son, and also husband and wife, will come to its fated conclusion in Tekken 7. The supposedly killed wife of the main protagonist of the series, Heihachi Mishima, is also the mother of Kazuya Mishima. Her powers will be key to understand the feud between Heihachi Mishima, his son Kazuya Mishima and his grandson Jin Kazama. The conclusion of the Mishima clan saga is sure to be dark, but also sweet for early PlayStation fans as the origins of the Devil Gene, among other Tekken mysteries, will finally be unveiled.

Tekken 7 is currently in development at Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.’s Tokyo, Japan studio under the leadership of franchise director, Katsuhiro Harada. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, Tekken 7 sets a new standard in graphics quality for the series, featuring highly detailed characters and dynamic environments. In its first appearance on home systems, Tekken 7 will feature numerous modes and enhancements beyond its arcade counterpart, including an in-depth story mode that lets players fully experience the canon storyline. Players will also be able to check out new fighters Kazumi Mishima, Claudio, Josie, Shaheen, Katarina, Lucky Chloe, Gigas, and more for the first time outside of the arcade.

Managed and streamed exclusively by Twitch, the Tekken World Tour will encompass Tekken tournaments from around the globe, seeking the best Tekken 7 players to compete in the Tekken World Finals taking place in North America this November.

The Tekken World Tour will kick-off in the U.S. on June 16-18 at the CEO Fighting Game Championships with additional stops in Orlando, FL, Dallas, TX, Orange, CA, and more. Players that are not able to attend live tournaments will be able to complete through official online tournaments with more details to be shared soon on the Tekken World Tour website. Lastly, a tournament is not a tournament unless there’s a cash purse involved and the Tekken World Tour has that covered with over $200,000 in prize money up for grabs along with limitless bragging rights and glory.

"The Fighting Game Community on Twitch is among our platform’s most vibrant groups of players and fans, with the Tekken World Tour created to celebrate their enthusiasm," said Richard Thiher, Program Manager, Twitch. "It’s also notable because Fighting Games represent the roots of esports. The genre has grown from local tournaments in arcades and living rooms to global attractions filling convention centers and stadiums, with Tekken being a major franchise and influence during this evolution. Twitch’s partnership with BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe for this new tournament series will help keep Fighting Games at the forefront of esports, while building toward a sustainable ecosystem for all of the players, fans, and organizers involved."
