Noctis Lucis Caelum from Final Fantasy XV enters the TEKKEN 7 ring! Wielding his signature Engine Blade, Noctis is ready to deal heavy hard-hitting blows as he takes on the likes of Yoshimitsu, Devil Jin, Jack 7, and the rest of the TEKKEN 7 fighters when he enters the King of Iron Fist Tournament in spring 2018

The Noctis reveal was also accompanied by some more Tekken 7 news. Geese Howard is apparently going to be released soon, as the team is waiting for first party approval. Additionally, the team is porting the game to a more recent build of the Unreal Engine 4 to reduce input lag. A release window for the update hasn't been confirmed, but the team is aiming to have it out before the end of the year.

Tekken 7 is now out on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in all regions.
