Bandai Namco’s top fighting game franchise is becoming more diverse with the addition of its newest Saudi Arabian character. Just before the end of 2014 (our US time), Katsuhiro Harada introduced Shaheen for the upcoming title Tekken 7. This is one of many new characters to be added.
It seems Shaheen has received a positive acceptance by the gaming community everywhere, unlike Lucky Chloe, a female character with a J-pop who did not get an excellent welcome by certain gamers in America.
NEW CHARACTER for TEKKEN 7. "Shaheen" from Saudi Arabia.
