“Some fight for honor, duty, revenge, or debts that can never be paid,” reads the trailer’s description. “The Best Fights are Personal and every obstacle on the way will define you. Get ready for the next battle with the best-selling fighting game series!”

Street Fighter’s Akuma takes a prominent role in the trailer, and will be fully playable in the final game. It is the first Street Fighter character to appear in a Tekken title. Bandai Namco released a gameplay trailer earlier this week detailing his moves.

Tekken 7 launches June 2 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. According to Tekken 7 producer Katsuhiro Harada, a Nintendo Switch port may not happen due to not having “enough time to study the hardware” and being busy developing the current versions.
