TEKKEN 7 Sells Over 10
Million Copies Worldwide
|
|
|
|
 TEKKEN
series chief producer Katsuhiro Harada announced today that TEKKEN
7 has surpassed 10 million sales worldwide, continuing the title's
reign as the best-selling installment of all time. Since the game's arcade
arrival in 2015 and console launch later in 2017, TEKKEN 7 was a
breakout success at competitive events and continues to hold a large
player base online and at live events. Back in June
of this year it was announced that TEKKEN 7 had sold 9 million
units, so Bandai Namco has moved another million copies just in the span
of half a year!
For an
arguably "low budget" fighting game originally designed for
release at arcades, this is a very impressive and unprecedented
number of units sold —
which Bandai Namco previously confirmed exceeded their original sales
expectations by quite a lot. Take a look at the updated celebratory
illustration by Takuji Kawano (long time artist of the SoulCalibur
/ TEKKEN series), below! Eagle-eyed fans will notice the new art
includes several additional details that didn't appear in previous
versions of the illustration.
|
Following the unprecedented success and revitalization
of the competitive community, the recently-announced TEKKEN
8 is poised to become another competitive smash hit! Congrats to
all of the dedicated TEKKEN 7 players out there for being a part of
this game's success over the years (including myself). 
|
On a personal note, I've been consistently
playing TEKKEN 7 since its 2017 launch and still play the game
weekly. It looks like we may have at least another year or so to enjoy
TEKKEN 7 before TEKKEN 8's arrival — which still hasn't been
given an official release date or release window by Bandai Namco.
You can revisit our previous article (link below), celebrating 9
million copies sold back in June 2022, if you'd like to compare past
versions of Kawano's artwork. Stay tuned on Fighters Generation for upcoming
TEKKEN 8 news,
future character reveals, and original content coming soon!
