Tekken 7: Fated Retribution - Ling Xiaoyu (TeknoParrot)

The character Akuma from the universe of Street Fighter is unveiled and will be the first new playable character of this version, confirming that the universe of Tekken and Street Fighter coincide.

This update also reveals new default outfits for many characters such as Asuka Kazama, Sergei Dragunov, Bryan Fury, Lili and Ling Xiaoyu. Indeed, the fans had long called for new outfits for the characters, some of whom had the same since Tekken 5. The characters have new intros and interact with objects (ex: Lili is holding a cup of tea, Asuka arrives by bike, Bryan is swinging a beam on the screen).

New stages were also unveiled. In addition to these additions, some have been enhanced with new brightness and changes in the décor.

On February 12, 2016, the Location Test for this update was launched, to observe the new mechanics of the game, as well as the two characters recently announced: Akuma and Nina Williams. Bob was then announced and became playable during the update on August 9, 2016. Master Raven, a new character, was also announced to be added to the September 15, 2016 update.

On July 27, 2017, all the characters exclusive to the console version are added to the arcade version. Several courses that were also exclusive to the console were added later.
