Tekken 7, the first numbered Tekken since 2007, was announced over last weekend at EVO.
Bandai Namco confirmed that Tekken 7 will run on Unreal Engine 4, but neglected to mention which platforms the game will be released on.
“The power and flexibility means that we can focus our efforts on making Tekken 7 the best possible game without worrying about spending time creating a stand-alone graphic engine,” said Katsuhiro Harada, Tekken series Game Director. “With Unreal Engine 4, we could rapidly achieve visual quality expected on next-gen platform and go beyond it. Not only is Unreal Engine 4 powerful and easy to use, but it allows us to immediately bringTekken 7 to any platform we desire.”
“The Tekken franchise is beloved and we couldn’t be more excited to be working with the talented team at Bandai Namco,” added Taka Kawasaki, studio head at Epic Japan. “This marriage is perfect — the most powerful engine in gaming along with one of the most enduring brands in fighting games. We have no doubt that these forces coming together will yield fantastic results.”
