UPDATE: Official Trailer upload from the TekkenChannel has now been added! [1080p 60 fps]

The next Arcade update for the current version of Tekken 7 out in arcades right now was jusr announced at the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2015 tournament. The new update is dubbed 'TEKKEN 7 FATED RETRIBUTION' and features new character additions, graphics update, new character costumes and a guest character: Akuma from the Street Fighter series. This comes with big surprise because it adds a lot of questions since Akuma's inclusion into the roster is heavily related to the Tekken 7 story. Trailer and images of the update from Tekken-Official added below!

Tekken 7 Summer Campaign Now In Effect

The Japanese Tekken-net website went down for about 4 hours today for scheduled maintenance but now that's over, they've added a new batch of customizations into the game. For this summer in Japan, they've gone ahead and added a bunch of summer related swimwear for the cast. Bikinis were given to the girls and the males all got the option to go topless in the game now. Full details on the summer campaign if you're interested in participating can be found on the official Tekken website.

Tekken 7 - Bandai Namco Entertainment Fighting Game Panel 2015

UPDATE: Added further panel images from Famitsu! Includes more character artwork from Tekken 7 including a live art demonstration by Jbstyle.

Just to get this out of the way - there wasn't much substantial news in terms of Tekken 7 revealed at San Diego Comic-Con. What was shown however is something you might appreciate should you be a fan of the artwork that comes from special guest artist collaborations with the Tekken series. The Bandai Namco Fighting game panel at San Diego Comic-Con has Tekken Project team figures like Harada and Michael Murray on it but this time there's also guest artist jbstyle participating who you may know as the artist who designed the Devil Asuka and Lili / Eliza T-shirts given out to players at EVO 2014 & 2015. Artwork of the Tekken 7 characters done by Jbstyle, Shunya Yamashita, Tomio Fujisawa and Junny were shown off so I'm assuming this is hinting at the return of the character artwork switching in Tekken 7 that was available in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. All the images from this year's panel are courtesy of @cool_trainer.
