Tekken 7 (鉄拳7?) is a fighting game developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the ninth overall installment in the Tekken series. Tekken 7 had a limited arcade release in March 2015. An updated arcade version, Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, was released in July 2016, and features expanded content including new stages, costumes, items and characters. The home versions released for PlayStation 4, Steam, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows in June 2017 were based on Fated Retribution.
Set shortly after the events of Tekken 6, the plot focuses on the events leading up to the final battle between martial artist Heihachi Mishima and his son, Kazuya. This time, it has an additional edge: Kazuya wants to confront Heihachi on the death of his beloved mother, Kazumi Mishima (née Hachijou), which took place few before the infamous "Heihachi throws a young Kazuya into a ravine" incident that shattered their already troubled relationship even further. At the same time, Lee and Lars' alliance has become stronger and they get ready to try making their move to end the Mishima Zaibatsu. . .
Tekken 7 introduces several new elements to the fighting system such as Rage Arts and the Power Crush mechanic, making the game more beginner-friendly than previous iterations in the series. It was a critical and commercial success (even if the fandom was split on it), selling over five million copies by December 2019.
