Tekken 7 Adds Two New Characters With Armor King and Craig Marduk

Bandai Namco has announced that Tekken 7 will receive two new characters.



Fan-favorite fighters Armor King and Craig Marduk will be joining TEKKEN 7 as the characters were officially revealed on-stage at yesterday’s TEKKEN WORLD TOUR FINALS event in Amsterdam. The fates of jaguar-masked luchador Armor King and Vale Tudo-champion Marduk became forever intertwined when Marduk killed Armor King’s brother and wrestling partner—the original Armor King—in a bar fight during the events of TEKKEN 4. Since then, a violent rivalry has festered between them, with battles being waged both inside the ring and out; their most recent brawl left them hospitalized and unable to compete in the 7th King of Iron Fist Tournament. Now, both heavyweight bruisers are back and ready to continue their conflict as the latest characters to join TEKKEN 7. Armor King and Marduk will be available for download at the below times:

PlayStation®4: 9:00AM PT
Xbox One: 9:00AM PT
STEAM®: 10:00AM PT

For a first look at the returning characters, fans can check out their respective trailers via the following YouTube links (ready for embedding); the Armor King trailer also gives a sneak preview of another veteran of the franchise, the fleet-footed Julia Chang, who will be making her TEKKEN 7 debut at a later date:
