'Tekken 7' PS4 Release Date All Set Together With A Virtual Reality Version?

After the successful celebration of "Tekken's" 20th anniversary, fans have been clamoring to hear news about the seventh installment's release date.

The "Tekken" franchise will finally arrive in new generation consoles soon, hopefully.

Despite the lack of release date announcement, Sony confirmed on its PlayStation Blog that "Tekken 7" will definitely be launched in PS4.

Meanwhile, Bandai Namco shared details about what to expect when "Tekken 7" arrives.

"Tekken is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the latest chapter in the historic series," the blog stated. "Continue the fight amongst the Mishima clan and its newest member: Kazumi Mishima. What secrets will be revealed within the Mishima clan? The epic conclusion will unfold in Tekken 7!"

In line with the release date news, The Verge reported the possibility of "Tekken 7" to have a Virtual Reality vesion once it arrives in next generation consoles.

Apparently, together "Until Dawn," "Rigs: Mechanized Combat League," "Robinson: The Journey," "Battlezone" and "Gran Turismo" Sony is seriously considering brining "Tekken 7" on VR.

And in an interview with Event Hub, producer Katsuhiro Harada discussed the difference between the arcade version of "Tekken 7" and its PS4 counterpart.

"There are two main sides to Tekken 7," he said explained. "The first is to neatly tie up all of the storylines that have developed over the course of 20 years for the Tekken series. Since it's Tekken's 20th anniversary, the story will play a big part this time around, which is why we wanted to tie things up and reach a conclusion. So in that sense, we hope to be able to wow and recapture the imagination of players who focus on characters and backstories in the games. This will take quite a bit of time to put together, but we have a couple of things in store."

First released in the arcades on March 18, 1995, "Tekken" is now one of the biggest gaming franchise in the industry.
