Final Fantasy Noctis Joins the King of Iron Fist Tournament!

Tekken 7 is getting Final Fantasy XV’s main protagonist Noctis Lucis Caelum joins the King of Iron Fist Tournament this spring. The surprising news broke out during Tekken World Tour Finals earlier today, not only are we getting the prince of pain himself, it looks like there’s a new Hammerhead Garage stage as well! Square Enix joins the long list of studio collaborations with Bandai Namco with Noctis coming in the fray.

Noctis Lucis Caelum from Final Fantasy XV enters the TEKKEN 7 ring! Wielding his signature Engine Blade, Noctis is ready to deal heavy hard-hitting blows as he takes on the likes of Yoshimitsu, Devil Jin, Jack 7, and the rest of the TEKKEN 7 fighters when he enters the King of Iron Fist.

The first DLC was Akuma from the Street Fighter Series followed by Geese Howard of the King of Fighters/ Fatal Fury series; both coming from a long line of fighting game franchise. It’s interesting to note that Noctis is the only character ported not coming from a fighting game genre. With his trusty arsenals and magic bombs at his side, it’s interesting how the addition of this brooding character shift the dynamic of Tekken 7 fights. We’ll be seeing Noctis zip in the ring of Tekken 7 come spring of 2018. (Also, how crazy is it that Noctis and Lars know each other ?!)
