Vi har väntat... Och längtat. Väntat och längtat, längtat lite till och väntat ännu mer. Sen har vi längtat, och väntat. I omgångar. Det har gått över ett år sedan vi började längta eftersom konsol/PC-versionen av arkadsuccén Tekken 7 och imorse var det då äntligen dags för producenten Katsuhiro Harada att utannonsera ett premiärdatum. Tekken 7 släpps till PC, Playstation 4 och Xbox One den 2:a juni. I samma veva passar Harada på att ge närmaste konkurrenten Capcom en rätt rejäl känga för att de släppte Street Fighter V i ofärdigt skick under fjolåret.
Namcos Tekken-pappa Katsuhiro Harada om Tekken 7
"We were trying our best to get the game out at that time, to get it into the hands of users as early as possible. We saw some titles--some from our own company and some from others, which didn't have a very good launch because of a lack of content, or whatever it was, that caused players to bash the product. Although this is the first time we've actually announced a date, it wasn't always June. It came through a process and we made some hard decisions and that was the result. We realise it's not 'early,' I'm so sorry!"
