Bandai Namco's Tekken 7 is currently on the more appealing side of the world as it has already been nearly a year since it was launched in the arcade. Now that news of the title expansion is ready to ascend, followers of the series are rendered curious of the company's plans for the coming year especially with regard to the release date and possible changes.

As reported by Gospel Herald, the already magnificent seventh installment to the Tekken franchise, Tekken 7, is still currently on its earlier phase and as the tradition of Bandai Namco stands, an expansion is bound to come sooner or later. Not so long ago, a trailer was released for Tekken 7's continuity, namely Tekken 7: Fated Retribution. As some long-time fans of the series may already know, changes and additions are expected to arrive for the said continuity, as done in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion.

Delivered by Movie News Guide, it was confirmed that Tekken 7: Fated Retribution is expected to have a publicized test coming next month specifically February 12th to February 16th. This will be held in select arcades around Japan such as Osaka's Round One Stadium Tokyo's Namco Sugamo, Namco Hakata's Bus Terminal Arcade in Fukuoka and Sennichimae Arcade.

According to Vine Report, fans of the Tekken franchise are still in utter surprise after the announcement of the biggest possible addition to the roster, a crossover character from Capcom' Street Fighter, Akuma. Until now, gamers are still rather skeptical over the said decision but Bandai Namco's team guarantees that there will definitely be a purpose to the particular choice of character. All of the explanation may come in the near future for the console version.

So far, Tekken 7 still has a roster that is dubbed incomplete and might take a few more months before a fixed console release is to come forth. Stay tuned for further news on Bandai Namco's long-running franchise.
