Season Pass details! Two guest characters coming!

[Isshak Gravi]

We've been tight lipped about what's included in the season pass, but we're ready to reveal some more details!

Batch #1 (Summer 2017)
*New game mode
*More than 50 new costumes

Batch #2 (Winter 2017)
*One exclusive playable guest character from another video game license

Batch #3 (Spring 2018)
*One exclusive playable guest character from another video game license

(Season Pass Bonus: 35 exclusive metallic costumes)

That's right, the two characters will be guest characters from other game series! We'll have more to say about the game mode and those two characters in the future :) In the meantime, speculate away on who you think will show up in Tekken 7!

I'm not sure what the whining is about.

You are purchasing a $25 dollar season pass. This is optional. You can refund this.

Most gaming companies will not tell you anything about what to expect as far as DLC goes.

But we know a vague, but strong idea of what's to come. Considering the prices of other games, you really have to admire what they're giving you here:

Average movie ticket price: $8.65 (2 hours of entertainment.)
Overwatch Lootboxes ($20 Worth): 96 Cosmetics (Including player icons and sprays.)
League of Legends RP ($20 Worth): 2800 RP (2 New Champions 850 RP leftover.)
Dota 2 Spendings ($20 Worth): 8 Treasure sets. (You cannot receive an Arcana.)

Tekken 7 Season Pass ($25 Worth): 85+ cosmetic items, 2 crossover complete characters, a new mode--

And that's just what we know so far.

You are not only paying for DLC, but you are paying for development support. The more money spent, the more support the game will receive in future updates. But should they not see much interest, they will likely drop support for the game.

The only arguements that can be had here is whether or not having paywalled DLC characters is a big enough advantage to cause problems. I think that's a valid debate to be had that doesn't need to be hostile.

are the "More than 50 new costumes" exclusive to season pass owners?

Naw only the metallic costumes are exclusive to season pass.

You can get the 50+ costumes (pack I guess) on its own.

That's correct. The Packs will be available to buy individually.

Sounds dope - will the Season Pass include Eliza the pre-order character?

Eliza is a pre-order only character, she's not in the standard game or the season pass. If you don't pre-order (and get her for free that way), she will be available to buy one month after launch.

That's exactly right. Well, you're also paying for the characters, definitely. Making a guest character and making him fit into the Tekken gameplay isn't the same as an original Tekken character. But yes, you're ALSO helping retain the dev team on the game for far longer after the game is released, which ensures support that the whole community can enjoy.

Harada himself even had said that they stop support on games 2 months after release because there's just not enough money to spend on a team to cater to their release.

Hopefully, enough people buy season passes to encourage even more support over the years. I'm a long time fan and so far, from what I've seen, the game has yet to dissapoint me.

With any game, there's pros and cons. Tekken 7 is no different. But I feel it's pros outway it's cons.

well, this game gets support for atleast 9 months with the season pass, ya?

More or less yes, they have locked themselves into a situation where if this season pass turns out to be net-negative, they'll have to accept they lost money trying this season pass stuff with Tekken.

Regardless of if it's positive or negative, we will have support for at least as long as it takes to get those promised DLCs. Which you could assume to be within 9 months.

then they will might be free. thx

they aren't done revealing characters, I think with almost utter certainty mokujin will be one... they haven't released a main series game after 3 without a mimic yet.

Then I'm gonna be very pissed. We already have 2 lame bears and Devil Jin wasting roster slots and a lot of cool characters from previous games are still missing.

Check costumes in TTT2 on Wii U. What difference between Kazuya in Link costume and Link? Just a bit of face textures).

Yeah, on Wii U. A nintendo console. Was the mario or link costume in any of the other versions? No. Because nintendo it close minded and wants all their IPs to be tied to the nintendo consoles as a selling point. Thats why alot of people brought a switch, for BotW.

Mario run, Pokemon go - not on nin console). They came out after Iwata r.i.p. so things changed already.

[ancelot_2011]

Mmm i hope we will see TTT2 characters and the one and only Tag or "Team" mode. That'll be pretty awesome!!!

The only character I give a crap about still being in the game is Lei Wulong. He's iconic and has been in every game. It just wouldn't feel right without him.

But Harada claims his use was low and that our effort isn't enough to warrant him in the release. Though if the fans cry enough they'll add him through a (What I would expect to be) a FREE DLC. As they said they would not make you pay for any classic characters.

Can you explain this?

"Get TEKKEN 7 Deluxe Edition and expand your fighter's journey with [...] hundreds of additional costumes." -- from the Steam store page

vs

"More than 50 new costumes" ; "35 exclusive metallic costumes" -- Season Pass description

Something's not right there. So will there be hundreds of new costumes OR only ~85 ?!

The store page is likely advertising all the additional costumes in the game, not specific to the edition you have purchased.

Well I wonder if they are referring to accesscories more than costumes exactly...and like the combinations of accessories.

[unclassified]

will you be able to unlock the metallic costumes ingame later on or are they really bound to the season pass?

[Sledgehammer]

Hey, Isshak GraviI, was thinking about more support thingy. If you want more support you really must give us an option to buy 2, 4 or 8 packs so we could share our copies with our friends, most of them don't even play fighting games and they could be potential future customers. To give you better understanding, look at Skullgirls.

i heard that steam/valve wants to get rid of em which is the reason that a lot of recent games dont have these kind of packs anymore.
