Guys

their trip through memory lane. The latest batch of SFV concept

bad guys from Final Fight 2. Your guess is as good as mine why Capcom is
reaching so far back into their character backlog for SFV considerations
of sorts, but it's certainly thought-provoking for veteran Capcom fans.

Harada Explains
Reasoning Behind Tekken
7 Season Pass, Promises 1 Year of Support After Launch
|
|
|
Producer Katsuhiro Harada
recently elaborated on why the TEKKEN team chose to introduce a season
pass for TEKKEN 7. On Twitlonger and Facebook, he stated "In the
past, we had to stop all updates and support within 2 months after launch (due
to the lack of development budget). With Season Pass, we can guarantee 1 year of
additional development (after launch). With this system, we can do free updates
and support for a long time."

November 2016), but Arc System Works hasn't provided any specifics. Note that
there have been several Blazblue spin-offs on mobile platforms which
