MASTERCUP.7 Announced! Japanese 5on5 Tournament Scheduled for 11/2

I'm seeing a lot of 7s this month. A new update on the MASTERCUP OFFICIAL website announces the latest numbered installment of Japan's largest Tekken tournament: MASTERCUP.7. There are some early details mentioned in the update so things might not have been finalized but the tournament is expected to be held in Tokyo's Leisureland Pallet town on the 2nd of November this year and will start accepting entries for players and teams on the 1st of August. You can expect to find more information on this tournament later on in the year. As a small additional reminder, Double Cup MASTERCUP is happening on this weekend so if you're in the area, try to make it out and enjoy some Tekken!

TEKKEN 7 - Next Numbered Installment of Tekken Series Announced

Straight from EVO 2014, Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada announces the next numbered installment of the series - Tekken 7. The announcement comes with a small teaser video featuring what is presumably Kazumi Mishima who I believe is Kazuya's mother. Additionally, an earlier leak on AOL.com showed a video with Harada saying that the engine of Tekken 7 will be powered by Unreal Engine 4 which will allow the team to develop the game for several different platforms. Minor speculation on my part but since Tekken 7 will now be using UE4, it's not farfetched to see a PC release of the title in the future. You can watch the announcement video below. More details on Tekken 7 will be coming on July 25th at the San Diego Comic-Con event.
