"Tekken" series producer Katsuhiro Harada revealed some interesting things for "Tekken 7" as he told Gamespot about some features that will likely be added to the new fighting game. Gamespot asked Harada about the possibility that "Tekken 7" could be a "free-to-play" video game similar to "Tekken: Revolution" with the latter replying that it is a difficult question to answer as fighting is something that can be a free-to-play at first glance.
"Tekken: Revolution" was created as a free-to-play version of the series because that is where fighting video games started from the arcade. Harada cited that difficulties of having "Tekken: Revolution" online and having a free-to-play option will be hard to get revenue to support the game.
That being said, Harada stated that they would rather have "Tekken 7" packaged in a traditional way of selling the game so that he and Bandai Namco can implement several in-game elements for the sequel without changing the game design.
Aside from the possible free-to-play, Gamespot also asked Harada if he and the game developers will implement the same extreme solutions and protocols for "Rage Quitters" when "Tekken 7: Fated Retribution" is out in the arcades.

Harada and Bandai Namco have not yet implemented plans for quitters regarding "Tekken 7" in the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, but they will be keepin an eye out for them and what players expect from them. Harada added that "Rage Quitters" should be put on some kind of "virtual jail" and have their main character locked on the select screen.
