Are we going to see blood in the upcoming game "Tekken 7"? Attack of the Fanboy stressed that fans would not be able to see blood in the much-awaited game. It was the game's director, Katsuhiro Harada, who confirmed that it would definitely not include blood so as to prevent it from getting a mature rating.
On Twitter, Harada was asked by one user named EternalDragon28, "Will the characters show damage like scratches, dirt, water, little blood and tears in clothes?" To which Harada replied, "Dirt, Water, Sweat. No blood because rating problem for arcade."
Attack of the Fanboy also noted that the character's clothing may still remain intact in the game even if tears and cuts are being made on them as Harada did not mention anything about it. "The series has never been too violent like the Mortal Kombat franchise. It's safe to say the console version will be the same as well. Don't expect blood to ever feature in the game at all," it added.
A separate report from Attack of the Fanboy meanwhile said that the game has already been confirmed on arcades, PS4, and Xbox One, but not on PC. It cited a GDC 2015 trailer showcasing games made from Unreal Engine 4. The video also did not mention whether it would be available on PS3 and Xbox 360. Watch the leaked trailer here:
It has also been revealed that the new game would be playable at a certain event in North America this month. The said event is called Final Round 18, a fighting game tournament in Atlanta, Georgia happening from March 20 to March 22. The game would be spotted at the EVO 2015 tournament.

He however, declared that the new game installment will be their "big thing for the next while."
