Every Major 2017 Video Game - Ranked By Anticipation

9. Tekken 7

It has been too.damn.long since we had a new beat 'em up, let alone a fully-fledged Tekken sequel.

Thankfully, unlike Tekken 5 and 6, Namco have really taken their time and innovated some key changes in the otherwise time-tested Tekken formula. The story itself has been upended to make Street Fighter's Akuma part of the official canon, and gameplay-wise each character now has a pyrotechnics-fuelled special attack, meaning you can finish off opponents in pure, glory-kill style.

Graphics are better than ever, character models burst with charm and appeal, and all-round, Tekken's various hands-on sessions have left all coming away with resoundingly positive impressions.

Hail to the king.
