Nieuwe karakters van Tekken 7 onthuld

Vandaag onthulde Bandai Namco nieuwe informatie over vechtspel Tekken 7. Er zijn nieuwe karakters geïntroduceerd en diverse verhaalelementen onthuld. Het hoofdverhaal bevat diverse uren aan content en is vanuit meerdere perspectieven te beleven.

Allereerst is het tijd om kennis te maken met de favoriet Lee Chaolan en zijn geheime alter ego Violet. In onderstaande video worden zijn talenten eens goed geëtaleerd.

Lee Chaolan was adopted by Heihachi Mishima, meant to be a rival to his son Kazuya. As Kazuya's adopted brother, Lee was given the same education and upbringing fitting of the Mishima clan. After being expelled from the Mishima Zaibatsu for reasons unknown, Lee founded Violet Systems, a tech company specializing in development on humanoid robotics, and was quite successful.

Shortly after, the world become embroiled in conflict between the Mishima Zaibatsu, headed by Heihachi Mishima, and the G Corporation, secretly controlled by Kazuya Mishima. As most of the world was cautiously watching and trying to decide which side would be most beneficial to support, Lee had his own plans, as he had nothing but extreme hatred for both Heihachi and Kazuya. One method he choose to exact his revenge on the father and son was to covertly support Lars Alexandersson, who had turned on the Mishima Zaibatsu, but this was only the beginning of what he had in store for the Mishimas.

Naast een hoofdverhaal bevat Tekken 7 ook diverse zijmissies. De Story Mode kun je spelen vanuit het perspectief van de Mishima-clan, maar ook als bijvoorbeeld Claudio Serafino en diens bondgenoten, de Archers of Sirius.

The Archers of Sirius are a group of exorcists who have been banishing supernatural entities from this world since ancient times. A highly secretive organization, its existence is unknown to the public. Although it is unknown how their existence was revealed, the Archers of Sirius were suddenly approached by the Mishima Zaibatsu. They were heavy-handedly requested by the Mishima Zaibatsu to join their conglomerate, but naturally refused. This did not stop the persistent pressure from Mishima Zaibatsu, however.

Eventually, the news of this approach from the Mishima Zaibatsu reached the de facto leader of the Archers of Sirius, Claudio Serafino. Determined to uncover the motives behind the Mishima Zaibatsu's actions, Claudio begins to investigate the powerful conglomerate.

In totaal kun je in Tekken 7 met dertig karakters aan de slag waaronder enkele onbekenden. Daarnaast verschijnt Akuma van de Street Fighter-franchise op het strijdtoneel. Met Akuma als laatste aanvulling wordt het tijd om het verhaal van de Mishima-familie tot een eind te brengen.

Tekken 7 komt begin 2017 naar de pc, PlayStation 4 en Xbox One.
