Tekken 7 has continued to shock the world with surprises since the arcade launch last February. News about the game's console version has not moved forward. Instead, it keeps on adding up to what is still uncertain for the game. Speculations have then increased from the mouths of fans that see the title's possibilities whether they may be good or the bad.

According to Wired, it wasn't long ago when Tekken 7 having a Virtual Reality headset compatibility was announced for the upcoming console version of Bandai Namco's seventh expansion of the two-decade long legacy. As good to know as it is that the developers have decided to give the title a boost towards adapting to the latest in gaming technology. Fans have consistently held guessing games for how it will actually work for the fighting game expansion.

Delivered by Christian Today, Michael Murray, Senior Game Designer, clarified the issue on how the Virtual Reality headset will fare for the fighting game. As many avid gamers may know, the Virtual Reality headset enhances any and all first-person perspectives once used.  Because of it, the expectation that the console version of Tekken 7 will indeed have a first-person feature to go along with it arose. Many considered as rather garbage-such as the special-input activated trait found on Tekken 2.

For the time being, as per Christian Post, the team is still under the process of figuring out how to incorporate the VR compatibility in terms of visuals for Tekken 7 which the team claims in rumors. Clues that it could be for the high-definition fighting experience that focuses on the items, customizations and even the simple graphics of the expansion itself.

As of now, Tekken 7 is still yet to receive a fixed release date for console version but some rumors point towards a release within the first quarter of 2016. Keep posted for more updates on Tekken 7 and other Bandai-Namco titles.
