'Tekken 7' characters: Bob and new fighter Master Raven revealed as additional fighters to the game

(Bandai Namco)The latest addition of fighters in the console version of "Tekken 7: Fated Retribution" namely Bob and Master Raven.

At the recently concluded Evolution Fighting Championship (EVO), "Tekken" creator Katsuhiro Harada revealed that the characters of Bob and Master Raven will be added in "Tekken 7: Fated Retribution," which made fans of both fighters very excited.

Players who prefer using Bob are now wondering as to what type of Bob will appear in the game's upcoming console version. Fans can still remember that there were two variants of the said character in previous "Tekken" titles. The stout version of Bob first appeared in "Tekken 6," followed by "Tekken 6: Bloodline Retribution," and the latest being "Tekken Tag Tournament 2," which also featured the character's slimmer self.

As reported earlier, Master Raven is also one of the latest additions to the fighting game franchise. Fans might also recall that there was a character back then named Raven who was introduced in "Tekken 5" way back in 2004. Moreover, fans are wondering as to what is the relation of Master Raven to the Raven that was previously encountered. It was later on revealed by Harada on his Twitter account that Master Raven is Raven's superior.

Meanwhile, another character to look forward to by console players is "Street Fighter's" Akuma, including his feared finishing move which is the "Raging Demon." There are worries though that this character might always get the upper hand due to his projectile attacks, but Harada assured gamers that Akuma's specifications have been adjusted to suit the game.

"Tekken 7: Fated Retribution" was released in Japan in March of last year as an arcade game exclusive. It was actually the ninth episode of the "Tekken" franchise and the first-ever "Tekken" title to be developed using the Unreal Engine tools. Nonetheless, there's no definite date yet as to when the game will be made available to gaming consoles, but there are speculations that it might be released sometime in 2017.
