Tekken 7 Fated Retribution Site Update - New Game Modes & Character Movelists

Tekken 7 Fated Retribution is mere days away in Japan and Korea! The official website for the expansion to Tekken 7 is live and it details several new things in store for the game. First off are the new games modes: Friend Matching and Premium Training mode. Friend Matching allows you to designate the game to match you up online with friends who are also online playing Tekken 7. As for Premium Training mode, it is an improved version of the standard Training mode already in the game but will allow you to see damage values, give you more settings for the CPU opponent and lets you reset the stage back to the beginning without having to go back to the character select screen. These new modes require Banacoins that you have to buy separately and load into your account to use so this marks the new business model for the game announced a bit back. With that said, character movelist PDF files are now available on the site so be sure to check it out to see who got new moves. Tekken 7 Fated Retribution is out in arcades on July 5th.
