New Console Tekken 7 Build Featured in Italian Battle Dome Event

Heads-up to everyone in the region, the Tekken Milano group is organizing a FG event called Battle Dome and they're able to announce that Tekken 7 will be playable. Not only that though, but also that Tekken 7 over there will be using the latest updated PS4 version of the game. For those that haven't been keeping up with the game, that means that both Lee & Miguel who were previously announced for the console versions of Tekken 7 will be playable there before the game comes out. Battle Dome is taking place in Milan, Italy on the 11th of February and further details on the event can be found on the Tekken Milano Facebook page.
