A video for the evidently in-development Tekken 7 was posted by the site this afternoon. That's not all: Tekken 7 is evidently being developed with Unreal 4, says director and series producer Katsuhiro Harada, both to ensure the kind of next-gen visuals befitting the long awaited next aforementioned King of Iron Fist Tournament, and to make sure that the game can be easily ported to whatever platforms.
