Tekken 7 Lands Series' First Number One in 20 Years

(1/1)

nad2dare:


Tekken 7 has become the first entry in Bandai Namco’s iconic brawler brand to top the UK sales charts in almost two decades. The previous entry to achieve such a feat was Tekken 3 all the way back in 1998, which is frankly incredible.

A whopping 83 per cent of retail copies were sold on the PlayStation 4 – one of the largest splits we’ve seen for a multiformat release in Britain this generation.

Don’t call it a comeback just yet,  after all, the title only had to outsell an ageing Overwatch and Injustice 2 in its third week to take the throne. Nevertheless, it’s still a positive result.

The beat-'em-up is the first entry in the Tekken franchise to reach No.1 in Britain since 1998's Tekken 3 on the original PlayStation. The last entry in the main series, 2009's Tekken 6, debuted at No.8, while 2012's Tekken Tag Tournament 2 managed No.2.
