Bandai Namco announced today at the EVO 2017 Grand Finals that Fatal Fury’s Geese Howard will enter the ring in Tekken 7. As one of the main evil fighters from SNK fighting titles, Howard joins Akuma as the second guest combatant from another franchise not belonging to the developing company.
Fans of fighting games have already seen characters from Capcom and Bandai Namco battling out together and against each other, but this marks the first time an SNK character appears in a Bandai Namco game. Capcom and SNK fighters have fought before.
Geese Howard will be available via Tekken 7’s upcoming DLC this Winter 2017.
