　　Now Playing: The History Of Tekken In 8-Bit

　　Tekken 7 is the first new title in the series since 2011's Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Recently, there was a bit of controversy surrounding the game when two players were accused of collusion and banned from an upcoming Tekken 7 tournament.

　　Tekken 7 is already available in arcades and launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on June 2 (though it sadly won't include the series' boxing kangaroo, Roger). Sony is offering PS4 Pro and Slim bundles with a copy of the title in Europe, though no such bundles have been announced for the US. We recently had a chance to chat with the series producer Katsuhiro Harada about a number of topics, including guest characters and a possible Nintendo Switch version.
