Let's hope it's more than a gimmick like the TTT2-Prologue 3D functionality. The official Press Statement and full trailer of the announcements are below.

Black Label eSports Masters 2015 - Malekith VS Ryan Hart

Black Label eSports Masters 2015 is a newly created event being held in the Netherlands today. What makes this event stand out a bit more though is that it's a newly created large scale eSports event which has €20.000 worth of prize money in total, 1500 arena seats, a stage with giant screens and a stream handled by a team of people from a Dutch TV station. Since this is the first time, the event is only an invitational for now and could grow to become a bigger event for Tekken in Europe in the future.

Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe Announces Tekken 7 at UTXVI

Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe announces today that they will be securing two TEKKEN 7 Arcade stations for everyone to play at Ultimate Tournament XVI on October 17th! TEKKEN 7 so far has been only released in certain Asian regions and made a few visits at US events so it marks a rare occasion for Europe to get their hands on the title to experience it for themselves. Ultimate Tournament XVI is shaping up to be a really big Tekken competition in France with the large numbers of players entering for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and now with the chance to play Tekken 7 thanks to Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe. For those in the region, this is certainly not an event to miss out on.
