Tekken 7 is a fighting game developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment as the ninth instalment in the Tekken series.

New "Tekken 7" details will feature a rumored February 2017 release date for the PlayStation 4 and plans for paid DLC soon.

Game producer Katsuhiro Harada revealed several plans for "Tekken 7's" post-launch as he told Gamereactor that they will think about having paid DLC for the sequel. Harada explained that he personally thinks that fighting games should be released as a package and let the players enjoy for a unknown considerable amount of time. And if the gamers are done and want something new to the table, then Bandai Namco will release something new for the gaming fans to enjoy.

"Tekken Tag Tournament 2" enjoyed several amounts of free DLC for the gaming fans to enjoy, but with the market in demand for digital releases nowadays, Harada stated that people do not mind paying for it, as long as it is something exciting and new for them.

Harada added that the idea of paid DLC for "Tekken 7" is something that he and the game developers will have to think, plan and discuss thoroughly very soon.

In other news, Twitter username Wonkey tweeted the possible release date for "Tekken 7" for the PS4, Xbox One and the PC platforms.

According to his inside source, the date for "Tekken 7's" release is on February 2017 and Bandai Namco has yet to make a statement regarding the validity of the information as gaming fans are still skeptical about information from Wonkey's source, WCCFTech reported.

Bandai Namco previously added Lee Chaolan/Violet into "Tekken 7" along with several photos of a young Kazuya and Heihachi in the game's story mode. Bandai Namco added that the sequel will feature a crossplay between all gaming platforms.

The roster for "Tekken 7" will consist of Jin, Kazuya, Heihachi, Hwoarang, Steve Fox, Asuka, Lili, Xiaoyu, Marshall Law, Paul Phoenix, King, Yoshimitsu, Bryan Fury, Feng Wei, Dragunov, Leo, Lars, Alisa, Nina, Bob, Devil Jin and Lee/Violet, along with new faces Claudio Serafino, Katarina Alves, Lucky Chloe, Josie Rizal, Jack-7, Gigas, Shaheen, Master Raven, Akuma and Kazumi Mishima.

The PC version of "Tekken 7" will feature a 4K/60 frames-per-second resolution courtesy of the recently released NVIDIA GTX 1080 as Bandai Namco looks to improve more of the sequel's graphics with the latest technology today.

"Tekken 7" will launch in early 2017 for the PS4, Xbox One and the PC.
