A Tekken-net service closure notice for the original Tekken 7 release in arcades is coming to an end on May 31st, Bandai Namco announces. The 'Vanilla' release of the game which is the version of the game that came before the 'Fated Retribution' update will have online network functionality shut down and an update patch to enable simple offline play. This will not affect most of the Tekken playing audience at home with the Console/Steam version or arcades with Tekken 7 Fated Retribution, this will discontinue the online network for the original Tekken 7. This includes some parts of Asia that haven't updated to FR yet, or regions in South East Asia and Oceania which were unable to get the updated version of the game since Bandai Namco decided to not offer it to them. Come May 31, those vanilla Tekken 7 cabinets will no longer allow online matchmaking, Banapass card functionality and Tekken-net online website services.

The Tekken World Tour Standings are Currently Incorrect. Here's a Link to the Correctly Updated Standings

It has been brought to our attention recently that the current Tekken World Tour standings have been incorrectly calculated as of right now. At least for the Asia-Pacific region, I'm not paying too much attention to how the maths are currently being counted across the whole board. It is said that top 5 Tekken point earners in the 3 regional leaderboards are invited to the grand finals later this year but the point allocation haven't been completely following in line with the rules on the Tekken World Tour website. The leaderboards were a bit slow to update before but the incorrect points now make it unreliable to follow. Thankfully, Sathaporn on Twitter has taken upon himself to follow all the TWT event news and curate an online document that is reflecting the current standings more reliably. This makes for a more handy bookmark should you be interested in following the TWT. You can check out his TWT Standings document below over here:
