Tekken 7 news: Even if it's the 20th anniversary of the Tekken game franchise this year, fans will have to wait until next year for the next installment of the highly popular game. Bandai Namco Games has announced that the much anticipated Tekken 7 for

Xbox One, PS4, and PC will be released towards the end of 2015.

Tekken 7 will be developed with Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4. The last Tekken installment, Tekken 6, was released in 2007.

"The power and flexibility means that we can focus our efforts on making Tekken 7 the best possible game without worrying about spending time creating a stand-alone graphic engine," said Tekken series executive producer and game director Katsuhiro Harada.

Developed in 1994, Tekken, or Iron Fist in Japanese, has since grown to include sequels, spin-off games, and has also been adapted into movies. Tekken tells the story of the King of the Iron Fist Tournament, which is hosted by the Mishima Zaibatsu Corporation. Winners of the tournament take control of the corporation and the right to host the next round of games.

For fans excited to find out what becomes of their beloved Tekken characters, Harada said Tekken 7 will have a very detailed backstory and will give an exciting conclusion to the Mishima family saga. Harada also revealed that Tekken 7 will have more one-on-one fights.

"We're still formulating the basic gameplay systems and polishing them," he said.

Meanwhile, a video uploaded on YouTube revealed that two new characters, Claudio and Katarina, will be making an appearance in Tekken 7.

Tekken 7 will also come with new gameplays: Rage Arts and Power Crush. Players can use Rage Arts to key in commands specific to each fighter. These will then lead to a Rage State, which enables players to access special moves. Power Crush, on the other hand, are moves that could take on attacks, but can leave players vulnerable. Tekken 7 players can use Power Crush for as long as they want, but at the risk of a dwindling health
