BANDAI NAMCO announced that TEKKEN 7 is currently in development using Unreal Engine 4.
"The power and flexibility means that we can focus our efforts on making TEKKEN 7 the best possible game without worrying about spending time creating a stand-alone graphic engine," said Katsuhiro Harada, TEKKEN series Executive Producer/Game Director at BANDAI NAMCO. "With Unreal Engine 4, we could rapidly achieve visual quality expected on next-gen platform and go beyond it. Not only is Unreal Engine 4 powerful and easy to use, but it allows us to immediately bring TEKKEN 7 to any platform we desire."
This is the first Tekken title to utilize a third party graphics engine rather than relying on its own custom-built engine. The game's teaser trailer is available below.
