Bandai Namco Hints Tekken 7 For PC, says "Considering PC Version For Certain Countries"

[Via]

Bandai Namco has officially announced that the next game in the Tekken franchise, Tekken 7 will be powered by Unreal Engine 4, however no official word is shared about whether or not there will be PC version of the game. Recently, in an interview to a Korean Website Inven, Bandai Namco's Katsuhiro Harada hinted that Tekken might also be coming out our beloved platform PC.

When the site asked Harada about the PC version of Tekken 7, he replied that they have not yet determined the platforms on which the game will arrive (other than the arcade version) and added that PC version is still not out of question.

"We have not yet decided or confirmed platforms other than arcade since it is not done yet. We are considering a PC version for certain countries that prefer or need to play on PC."

In addition to this, Harada also clarified that Tekken 7 needs further optimizations, as the game uses Unreal Engine 4, and so these optimizations are a must to bring the game to other platforms, and this will be helpful in increasing the game's player base.:bulletpink:


New Tekken 7 character won’t be coming the US

Tekken 7′s newest character, Lucky Chloe, is exclusive to Japan, East Asia and Europe.

New Tekken 7 character Lucky Chloe was introduced during a recent series anniversary livestream. Here’s a video of the new character in action, captured from the presentation.

The character hasn’t been publicised outside the stream, apparently because she is exclusive to Japan and East Asia. We learned this from series creator Katsuhiro Harada, replying on Twitter to fans.

This is where things get kind of weird. You see, a fan linked Harada to a NeoGAF thread criticising the character. Many Tekken fans in the thread expressed their dislike of the character, describing her as annoying and silly. Others got in touch with Harada directly on Twitter, and requested the ability to block online matches with characters like her.

Harada did not react well. In a series of lengthy tweets, he repeatedly pointed out thet Lucky Chloe is just one of a number of new characters, and proceeded to imply that US gaming fans are only interested in one kind of character: big beefsteak men.

“By the way, Are you Western only bulletin board? Hello small world. I’ll make a muscular and skinhead character for you,” he said.

“Calm down and don’t worry. That character are East Asia and Europe ‘exclusive’. And I’ll say again. We’ve more new characters in TK7. She is JUST one of them.”

When some fans reacted with confusion to the news that the character would be a regonal exclusive, Harada replied:

“Because you don’t need that character right? It’s simple thing. And I’ll say ‘Don’t worry’ again. I’ll release another character for you guys.

“I said we’ve more new characters. Example: Looks well-muscled, skin-head, very powerful attack (I don’t like this idea but if you need).”

We all assumed he was joking with that tweet, though. Are there sources outside of Twitter that confirm Chloe for region locked?
