Tekken 7 coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC this summer
Updated version of Japanese arcade game features tweaked fighting moves and extra characters
Tekken 7 will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on 2 June, more than two years after first appearing in Japanese arcades.
Developer Bandai Namco has tweaked the balancing of characters and moves over the original, as well as offering a single-player campaign and a larger roster of characters.
There's also the addition of global online tournaments, which GameSpot says will support up to eight players and feature "match spectating".
