'Tekken 7' release date news 2016: Latest trailer reveals 2 new roster additions, Bob and Master Raven
Two new additions to the growing roster of "Tekken 7" warriors were recently revealed by Bandai Namco. This new reveal by the Japanese game developer company confirms the ongoing plans to expand the universe of the Tekken tournament, raising the possibility that the players will be able to experience a larger community of fighters once "Tekken 7" is officially released worldwide in the early months of 2017.
As reported by iDigital TImes, two new characters in the "Tekken 7" roster were introduced, as the current game update for the latest Tekken installment called "Fated Retribution" is rolled out. The new fighters in the growing "Fated Retribution" roster are Bob and Master Raven. These Tekken fighters are not necessarily new in the Tekken King of the Iron Fist tournament, although their inclusion in "Tekken 7" made a lot of players excited for its worldwide release.
The return of Bob remains a mystery for those expecting the latest Tekken entry because it is still not confirmed what version of Bob will appear. There are speculations that Bob will appear as "Slim Bob," although his moves and other techniques will remain somewhat the same. Slim Bob already appeared in the "Tekken Tag 2" tournament, and there is a chance that the public will see him again in "Tekken 7."
Meanwhile, Master Raven is described by iDigital Times as somewhere in between the era of old and new characters. The first Raven character was introduced in "Tekken 5" many years ago, and since then he has been present in every new "Tekken" installment. Still, not much has been known about the Tekken fighter aside from the fact that he is a covert agent from a mysterious organization. It is also a mystery how the inclusion of Master Raven in "Tekken 7" will bring something new to the character.
Bandai Namco's much-anticipated "Tekken" installment was first released in Japan as an arcade video game in 2015. However, Bandai Namco has yet to release the latest "Tekken" installment worldwide for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. The rumors are rife that "Tekken 7" will finally hit the digital markets worldwide early next year.
Many gamers are expecting that "Tekken 7" will be the best entry in the game franchise in terms of improvement. Being the ninth installment in the series overall, "Tekken 7" will boast a lot of improvements over its predecessors regarding the gameplay features and settings. "Tekken 7" producer Katsuhiro Harada said in an interview with a Japanese gaming site via Breathe CAST that the game will surpass the previous "Tekken" titles, further raising the expectations of the fans.
