That’s six characters left out from the Legendary Edition, which again undersells the idea that this is a Legendary Edition if it can’t cobble together all previously released content. From Season 3, newcomers Leroy and Fahkumram are omitted, while Lidia, another newcomer from Season 4, is also excluded.
The entirety of Season 1 is missing, which featured the Tekken Bowl mode along with SNK guest character Geese and Final Fantasy XV protagonist Noctis, while the only character missing from Season 2’s roster is The Walking Dead’s Negan (who is also the best character, don’t me). It’s just perplexing to me that a new retail version of Tekken 7 wouldn’t include all the previously released DLC. For a so-called Legendary Edition, it should do more than that. It’s a decent head start when it comes to the DLC, but that’s all it is: a head start. The Legendary Edition will feature all 36 launch characters, along with Armor King, Anna Williams, Marduk, Julia, Lei Wulong, Zafina, Ganryu and Kunimitsu. The real problem is the idea that Bandai Namco are selling a Legendary Edition of Tekken 7, while failing to include all previously released characters. It’ll probably mean the British version will still cost £30, but that’s another issue in itself. Granted, fighting game DLC is still some of the most egregious in the entire industry, but Bandai Namco have made a decision that seems more perplexing than most.Įarlier this week, the Japanese publisher announced that Tekken 7 would receive a new retail version of the game, titled the Legendary Edition, that launches on November 12th for PlayStation and Xbox and includes the base game and 8 DLC characters for €29.99, which works out to around £25/$35. Naturally, because fighting games require extra content these days to sustain their own shelf life, Tekken 7 has multiple sets of DLC Season Passes that include new characters, arenas and features that bolster an already huge game. Bandai’s Namco’s magnum opus of a 3D fighter is arguably the best active fighting game on the market right now, with a varied roster of characters, a decent selection of modes and gameplay that’s both incredibly smooth and satisfying, while rewarding those dedicated to putting in the grind.
Anyone who’s been a regular reader of Cultured Vultures will likely know that we’re big fans of fighting games around here, with one particular fighting game being Tekken 7.
