Bandai Namco has been completely silent about their upcoming participation at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3. The game publisher has a lot of games coming out this year, with the release of "One Piece: Burning Blood" this week, "God Eater" in August and "Dragonball Xenoverse 2" later this year.
But one question remains: Will "Tekken 7" finally make an appearance at this year's E3?
"Tekken 7: Fated Retribution", which is an update of 2015's "Tekken 7" title, is rumored to be a Playstation 4 exclusive game for some time now. The popular fighting game franchise's latest title will come to the PS4 this year, although no dates are specified yet by Namco Bandai. (The arcade version is due out in Japan in July).
However, in a report made by WCCF Tech, Twitter user j.va, who was at the MCM Comic Con in London last weekend, claims that a Bandai Namco employee confirmed that "Tekken 7: Fated Retribution" is indeed coming to the Xbox One and PC.

Attack of the Fanboy's Damian Seeto also reported a similar incident at the EB Games, where he claims to have seen a pre-order box for Tekken 7 on the Xbox One on display. EB Games has also posted a pre-order page for Tekken 7 for the Xbox One on their website as well. Still, nothing's set in stone, and with Namco Bandai keeping mum about the details, fans are hoping that the publisher is just gearing for a big E3 reveal, just like the other game publishers and developers in previous E3 shock announcements. That is, of course, if Tekken 7 will actually be showcased at E3 in the first place. Tekken's game director Katsuhiro Harada has replied to a question on Twitter on whether or not the fighting game will be present at E3. "Rumor = Every year. I'm so busy on VR & Arcade. Give me a day off."

Will fans ever see Tekken in action at E3?
