In line with this, Katsuhiro Harada mentioned in an interview that was reported by Event Hub news behind a "Tekken 7" PS4 release date.

"There are two main sides to Tekken 7," he said. "The first is to neatly tie up all of the storylines that have developed over the course of 20 years for the Tekken series. Since it's Tekken's 20th anniversary, story will play a big part this time around, which is why we wanted to tie things up and reach a conclusion. So in that sense, we hope to be able to wow and recapture the imagination of players who focus on characters and backstories in the games. This will take quite a bit of time to put together, but we have a couple of things in store."

In line with the release date news for "Tekken 7" on the PS4, The Verge also pointed out that the much-awaited fighting game should also be expected to work with PlayStation VR in the future.
