'Tekken 7' release date update: Did Bandai Namco confirm Xbox One, PC versions of the game?

It has been almost a year since "Tekken 7" was released by Bandai Namco in Japan as an arcade video game. While it has been reported that "Tekken 7" will be released as a PlayStation 4 game in the near future, there are no announcements regarding the possible launch date of the PS4 version. Moreover, there are speculations among the players whether Bandai Namco will also be releasing "Tekken 7" for Xbox One and PC platforms. Fortunately for the gamers, there are hints that the Japanese game developer will release the home console and PC versions, and the launching may happen this year.

As reported by the Ubez Gizmo website, a Twitter user under the name "Yellowmotion" revealed in his recent post that Bandai Namco confirmed the release of Xbox One and PC versions of "Tekken 7." He claimed in his post that he was among the attendees of the MCM London Comic Con event where he got the chance to meet a Bandai Namco representative. According to him, the Bandai Namco rep said that "Tekken 7" would be available soon on Xbox One and PC.

Meanwhile, Attack of the Fanboy reported that the organizers of the EB Games event provided displays of the "Tekken 7" pre-order boxes, but they are reportedly for the Xbox One. The Xbox One pre-order box of the video game is another proof that "Tekken 7" will not only be released as an arcade and PS4 game title but it will also be made available in other gaming platforms.

There are also rumors that the "Tekken 7" release will incorporate VR features. Experiencing the game in virtual reality got a lot of fans excited, but as reported by WIRED, the VR feature in "Tekken 7" may not be what the fans are expecting. senior game designer Michael Murray further said that first-person virtual reality features do not work well with an arcade type of gameplay such as "Tekken 7." The announced VR feature is not going to take away the core of video game, and "Tekken 7" is still about the characters.
