Three new characters have been announced for retro arcade fighter Tekken 7, introducing a female Filipino fighter, another generic brooding male character and his alternate devil form – with no particular reason specified as to why Jin required an entirely new character solely for an alternate transformation.
The announcement was unveiled during a special live-stream event at Bandai Namco Headquarters by none other than Tekken’s project lead Katsuhiro Harada:
Josie Rizal:
Jin:
Devil Jin:
Jin will be playable on March 31st while his Devil form will arrive April 7th, Josie however has no planned release date at the moment – all three fighters were apparently meant to be shown later down the line but an earlier leak had forced the developers to change up their schedule.
Pretty sure Devil Jin doesn’t work as a costume palette swap since Jin and his Devil form have totally different movesets.
The Jin and Devil Jin we came to know is actually his equally evil twin.
I was hoping Josie would have a more fobbish accent…
Umm…I don’t get it, Jin has been around as a playable character in Tekken for a while, and his devil form has been playable for a couple of games as well. I have Tekken 5, and they are both playable there. So how is this a “new” character? I don’t get it at all. Someone please explain?
He’s an evil twin that’s the husband of… FABIO! Yes! He’s the *new* gay character since the very confusing eddy outfit! Screw leo and bishounen, we’re going bears! Bears for you and YOU, everyone gets bears!!
Jin was my favourite character in tekken 4 and 5 how is he new lol
The Jin and Devil Jin we came to know is actually his equally evil twin.
