'Tekken 7' February Release Date Rumors Slammed By Bandai Namco

Fans can't contain their excitement with the eventual release of Bandai Namco's fighting game "Tekken 7," but the company clarifies that the game isn't scheduled to be released anytime soon. One such circulating rumor was killed off with the company's official response through Reddit.

As recently reported at SegmentNext, Bandai Namco went off its way to clarify the spreading speculations regarding "Tekken 7" coming out in Feb. 12. The site responsible with the advertised release schedule was the online Swedish store called Komplett.

Fans were joyous of the news of the game releasing just a month later, but a discussion in Reddit was crashed by the one of Bandai Namco's staff responsible for "Tekken 7" production, Andreas Juliusson. Here's the exact response;

"Hi, Andreas here, product manager for Tekken 7 and Bandai Namco in the North. I just wanted to confirm that Komplett is NOT listing the official release date, it's just a limitation in their system which forces an upcoming product on their website to have a release date in order to get published... Why they chose the 12th of February is unclear, but that date is not true. They will shortly change it to "2017" only."

"However, what is actually true is that during January we WILL announce the release date, so just hold on a little bit," Juluisson added. Fans aren't exactly happy with how the rumors regarding the online store's release date was more of an honest mistake, but an actual announcement can hold something going for them.

The game has been already released on the Japanese arcades and it is also set to be out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later in the first quarter of 2017. The PC release is supposed to follow shortly after the home console versions start rolling out.

There are also talks about "Tekken 7" being exclusive for Windows 10 machines with its PC version. This isn't confirmed yet, but it is also likely to support Windows 7 to avoid numerous issues similar to dedicated Windows 10 ports of various games.
