Tekken 7 sales exceed 4 million copies

Tekken 7 launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam back in June of 2017 and as of March 2019, Bandai Namco is proud to announce that the title has gone off to achieve over 4 million copies sold worldwide. Tekken 7 achieving 4 million units currently places the entire Tekken series at 48 million sold in total with I believe Tekken 7 almost at Tekken 6's sales and nearing Tekken Tag 1, Tekken 5 & Tekken 3's numbers. To commemorate the occasion, the 3 million milestone artwork updated with the Season 2 characters barring all the 2D and guest characters (as it should be). As for what's next for the Tekken series, we might know soon enough with Evo 2019 set to take place early next month.

New Downloadable Content listings discovered for Tekken 7

More DLC for Tekken 7 might be on its way, going by a recent listings update for Tekken 7 on Steamdb. If you head on over to the DLC section for Tekken 7, you'll find that 3 new packages were added to the table of DLC the game currently has. These packages are different from the usual game additions updates since these require account activation by either buying them or redeeming them like you would with the previous cosmetic DLCs. This more likely than not leans into either seperate or unique DLCs for the game rather than a new Season Pass if we go by the last two Season Passes since they both added a larger number of DLC packages. With a new console generation set to arrive next year, Tekken 7 for the time being looks to still be seeing continued support.

SoulCalibur VI dev team talk game balance and future updates

Update: The official English translation of the topics discussed on this stream are now up on the Bandai Namco EU website.

When it comes to transparency and being receptive to fan feedback, the team behind SoulCalibur VI have been pretty on the ball to all the comments they read on social media and in the player surveys. The entire balancing act between creating a Fighting game with a vision in mind and catering to the player communities is a difficult undertaking in itself which is what they were here to discuss on stream. Appearing live on the Dengeki YouTube channel this past evening was SoulCalibur VI's Producer Motohiro Okubo, the Director Masteru and the Battle Director Oosaka as they sit down and outline their current balancing philosophy and answer questions from the community. The stream was entirely done in Japanese but here are some quick notes from the presentation.
