Tekken 7 New Character Revealed, Shaheen
A new character has been revealed for Tekken 7, the latest entry of the fighting series developed by Bandai Namco launching on a yet to be confirmed release date in all regions.
The new character has been revealed by series’ creator Katsuhiro Harada on Twitter. The reveal of the robed Arabian fighter Shaheen isn’t exactly surprising, considering Harada and his team released a concept for an Arabian fighter a few months ago, asking Middle Eastern fans for feedback.
