Tekken boss Katsuhiro Harada wants fan feedback regarding a new Arab character who could potentially be introduced in Tekken 7.
In a Facebook post, Harada posted concept art of the Arab fighter and encouraged fans to share their thoughts.
“I wanted to ask about “one of the ideas within the several new character ideas.
“That is, a design concept of an Arab character.
“I would particularly like to hear the feedback from our TEKKEN fan community in the Middle Eastern countries (and of course, the all TEKKEN fan community).”
Harada stresses that the character shown in the concept art is not the final design, and goes on to discuss the origins of this idea.
“To be honest, we did have an idea of an Arab fighter since 2008, but since most of the development team members are Japanese and do not know much about the Middle Eastern culture or clothes, we were not able to fully design it back then.
“But in recent years I (Harada) have been visiting places such as Dubai and Saudi Arabia, and many of the development staff members have been learning about Middle Eastern culture and designs.”
He goes on to note that fan feedback will have a big impact on the character, potentially meaning whether or not he is included in Tekken 7 at all.
“If the TEKKEN fan community, especially those in the Middle Eastern area, end up liking this character, I would like to feature this character in the game.”
“On the other hand, if this character is not received well by the Middle Eastern TEKKEN fan community members, there is a possibility that the character will be considerably changed or letting go of the idea of featuring this character in the game.”
Little is known about Tekken 7 thus far, with only a teaser trailer released by Bandai Namco with the promise that this entry will be the conclusion of the Mishima saga.
