Korean Tekken 7 Fated Retribution Location Tests on February 26 - 28

[Update] The Tekken 7 Fated Retribution location testing starts today! On the 26 to 27 of Feb, Green Arcade and the Royal arcade in Daegu will have the game and start letting people play it. Then on the 28th, the E-stadium PC Bang in Busan will then receive the game for play testing. If you happen to be in those areas, check it out.

Announced via the Korean Tekken-net website is that Korea will be conducting location tests for Tekken 7 Fated Retribution on February 26 to 28. The announcement is really brief and does not include any other details apart from the date so the remaining part of the announcement post mentions that further information on the upcoming Korean location tests are to come in the near future. Should you happen to be in Korea, this will be the opportunity to get your hands on and try the new update to Tekken 7. For everyone else, hopefully Green Arcade gets their hands on the game and gives us a stream soon.

Video Footage From Tekken 7 FR Location Tests in Japan

The Tekken 7 Location tests in Japan are well underway and we now have a bunch of video footage to sift through looking for all kinds of new stuff. First off, the official Tekken twitch channel recently streamed several hours of footage from Day 2 of the Location tests from Namco Sugamo arcade and the Twitch archive is now available for viewing. Big thanks to Shudy and the Tekken team for setting up the Twitch stream. I'm so glad I didn't have to sit through a niconico stream.

The Tekken 7 Fated Retribution location tests in Japan are on this weekend! Things kick off at the select 3 arcades (Namco Sugamo, Round One Stadium Sennichimae & Namco Hakata Bus Terminal) starting on the Friday (Feb 12) at 10 AM in Japan time. This is roughly 3 hours before ATP Live starts on this Thursday. Expect news to pour out from Japan on the game at the time. I'll try to cover as much as I can as I get news and info from online reports and videos. On the Saturday (Feb 13) at 1 PM Japan time, Namco Sugamo will be doing a niconico stream for the location test only on that day. The niconico stream will have commentary by Yuu, Nobi & Hameko and teases a special guest for the stream. You can watch the niconico stream by creating a free account then logging in when it goes live. For those who can't catch it live, I'll be archiving it on YouTube in the least if you cannot watch the niconico stream. The niconico stream URL is as follows:
