Tekken 7 game modes trailer


Bandai Namco put out a game mode trailer for Tekken 7 today (only in Japanese so far). It looks great, the game seems packed with content.

- Story mode: A main Mishima Saga, and then Character Episodes for all the side characters. It includes special fights, like Heihachi against a whole bunch of Jacks like in the Tekken 5 intro. For beginners, you can turn on an assist that gives you easy inputs for moves and lets you do decent combos by mashing one button.
- Online mode: Ranked match and Player match as expected, also a new Tournament mode that runs a double elimination bracket and has rewards like in-game currency.
- Offline mode: Arcade, Versus and Practice. Also the new Treasure Battle mode where you fight the CPU for customization items and in-game currency. It has special battles, like against a Devil Kazumi and Turbo battle.
- Customize mode: Looks much like TTT2's customization, but with more items available. If it's like the arcade version (likely), you can also use more colours per equipped item and there's new metallic colours and such. You can also customize your player card and even your lifebar.
- Gallery mode: Movies and illustrations from all previous Tekkens, including the pachislot ones and such.
- Exclusive to the PS4 version is Jukebox mode, it lets you replace the music on a stage with music form any earlier Tekken game. You can even have a different song start once someone is on winning point.
- Also exclusive to PS4 is VR mode. It's not mentioned here, but earlier statements have described it as doing the character customization up close in VR with an extra option to look at all their animations in slo-mo. Sounds like a neat extra.


Tekken 7 will also have three DLC packs, the first of which will include an extra game mode and a costume set. At this point it's unknown what that game mode will be, but personally i would guess something like Tekken Force or Tekken Ball or a similar well-defined side mode.
