IGN Video (no game footage): http://www.aol.com/video/tekken-7-announced/518316459/

Looks like the rumor was true. A leaked IGN News video, published by AOL.com Video ahead of tonight’s official announcement, reveals Tekken 7 will be powered by Unreal Engine 4 and launch for current gen consoles.

“With Unreal Engine 4, we can rapidly achieve the visual quality expected on next-gen platforms and go beyond it,” Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada is quoted as saying in the video. “Not only is Unreal Engine 4 powerful and easy to use, but it allows us to easily bring Tekken 7 to any platform we desire.”

Further details were not announced.

Wow, can't watch on mobile safari - too many redirects

 

[dh4niel]

Real curious about the platforms. Will namco finally bring a fighting game to PC?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

The Tekken X Street Fighter dream is dead

 

[The Weeknd]

[Zombie James]

Not cross-gen? Very nice, looking forward to seeing this in action.

 

[Tenki]

 

[bigkrev]

Super happy this isn't cross gen. Hope for a PC version!

 

[oldmario]

[SmokedMeat]

Can't wait to see it!

 

[Denton]

I guess they this will be a first Tekken on PC without emulation.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

GAF > INTERNET > GAF leaked it yesterday, their was a beamer test and it had the T7 logo displayed for a moment but to short to snap a picture with a phone.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Awesome hope it's not cross gen .

 

[FHIZ]

Tekken x Street Fighter am cry.

Not a Tekken fan, but I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like with UE4.

 

[FloweryMarston]

wait, did ign announce it before the announcement at EVO?

 

[GoaThief]

I've never really dedicated much time to a Tekken game, looks like this is a good time to jump in seeing there's little choice in fighters for the current generation.

By "current", it does mean XB1/PS4?

 

[oti]

Act surprised when they announce it later today.

 

[dmr87]

Bam

 

[Graphics Horse]

wait, did ign announce it before the announcement at EVO?

yes, accidentally.

 

[Sentenza]

but it allows us to easily bring Tekken 7 to any platform we desire

 

[Never Forever]

Haha, not Tekken X Street Fighter?

I'm looking forward to seeing what UE4 brings to the table. Praying my girl Kunimitsu represents.

 

[oti]

I guess they this will be a first Tekken on Mobile without emulation.

Yeah.

 

[KenshynPt]

I do love me some tekken great news, hope it just sticks with the new consoles

 

[opticalmace]

Finally, a FPS Tekken. About time.

 

[Valkerionseven]

I'm interested, can't wait for the official news tonight during EVO.

 

[Ishida]

Does UE7 run on Wii U?

UE7 doesn't currently run on any console or PC on the market.

 

[Leafhopper]

Awesome hope it's not cross gen .

In all honesty, I doubt it will be. I don't think you have to worry.

 

[RK9039]

OMG.

 

[Black Republican]

umm, so Tekken X SF?

unless it became Tekken 7 feat SF cameos

 

[IrgendwasmitRot]

 

[Bgamer90]

Been really craving a new 3D fighter on the new consoles. Can't wait.

 

[crimzonflame]

Another time skip please.

 

[Eolz]

Dammit, aol redirects me immediately towards local website.

Didn't expect them to use UE4.

 

[Ramstein]

Is this where we go to show our disappointment that it's not Tekken x Street Fighter?

 

[robotrock]

unreal engine 4?!?!?!

 

[Cheddahz]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Lets do this!

 

[djshauny]

Sweet. Love the tekken series

 

[salromano]

I accidently found this Googling my site and Tekken 7 to see if anyone sourced our initial rumor story within the past hour. xD Naughty AOL.

Excited about a PS4/XBO-only Tekken (assuming that's what it is). Hope it's good. :3

 

[Stuart444]

Awesome, been wondering when Tekken 7 would be announced.

 

[ComputerMKII]

I wonder what kind of stupid designs they'll come up with, this time.

 

[Acquiescence]

Please don't be cross-gen.

 

[Skyzard]

We haven't seen a game (decent footage) yet that's using UE4, right?

 

[Masquerader]

Hooray~ My least favourite currently running fighting game series is getting another game.

Spoiler

I still like it a lot. But... Is Tekken x Street Fighter dead...?

 

[Leafhopper]

umm, so Tekken X SF?

unless it became Tekken 7 feat SF cameos

Even Fortnite got gameplay before TxSF and technically that game has been announced (I think)

 

[maniac-kun]

So when will we see ingame stuff?

 

[alr1ght]

Please don't be cross-gen.

cross gen

it allows us to easily bring Tekken 7 to any platform we desire
