Arcade gamers in Japan and in select locations in the U.S. have already been playing "Tekken 7" since early 2015. Now, the latest installment of the highly-popular fighting game series is finally making its way to consoles.

During Sony's press conference at the Paris Games Week, Bandai-Namco executive producer Katsuhiro Harada confirmed that "Tekken 7" would be coming to the PlayStation 4. Additionally, "Tekken 7" for PlayStation 4 will include some special features not available on the game's arcade version, GameSpot reported.

As good as that sounds, Harada refrained from divulging any further details on what those exclusive content might be. However, IGN pointed out that Sony was also present during the event to talk about the game. The company's CEO in Europe Jim Ryan took to the stage to announce that "Tekken 7" will be compatible with the PlayStation VR.

So maybe that's what Harada was referring to, but there could be a lot more in store for PS4 button mashers. Although, it still remains to be seen how the "Tekken 7" VR experience will eventually shape up as nearly all confirmed PlayStation VR-compatible titles are played in the first person point-of-view. The intrigue has left a lot of room for speculation.

At any rate, "Tekken 7" isn't the first title to get into the virtual reality bandwagon. Tecmo-Koei recently announced that its February 2016 volleyball combat game "Dead or Alive Xtreme 3" will have support for PlayStation VR as well, per GameRant.

The overall success of PlayStation VR will be predicated on how many gaming studios would want to use Sony's virtual reality technology for their respective games. It's also up to Bandai- Namco to develop a virtual reality experience for "Tekken 7" that doesn't give motion sickness to gamers.

Even without its compatibility with PlayStation VR, "Tekken 7" is already poised to be a success in the wider market, but not if it releases with certain omissions to the game.

Bandai-Namco has received numerous flak from fans regarding the inclusion of Lucky Chloe in the game's arcade version. Many consider the K-pop inspired character with hip-hop fighting style as a mere nuisance to the game.

"She reminds me of Cat Peach from Super Mario 3D World," Tekken fan HolyGRUNTY101 commented on Kotaku.

Harada promised to remove the character from the game's North American console release as a respond to Lucky Chloe's poor reception.

"Calm down and Don't worry. That character are East Asia and Europe "Exclusive". And I'll say again, We've more new characters on TK7. She is JUST one of them," Harada explained on Twitter.

Bandai-Namco is in a difficult position as omitting at least one character in the game's North American version might also turn off quite a few fans.

"Tekken 7" will release for PlayStation 4 in early to mid-2016.
