After a thrilling Tekken 7 Grand Finals, it was time for Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada to take the stage. There's still quite a lot of life in Bandai Namco's fighter and that means there's some new content on the way. That new content involves an entire new season of fighters. And while they include returning characters, the end of the reveal trailer offered a surprise nobody could have expected.

Yes, that's Negan from The Walking Dead, who will be bringing Lucille in to do some heavy damage. He is indeed billed as hailing from "AMC's The Walking Dead" and Jeffrey Dean Morgan can be heard voicing the character. No word on when Negan is set to debut, but look for him to come to the game in the future.

The first of the new season's character is the returning Anna Williams. And as one would suspect, she's looking to take out some heavy aggression on her sister, Nina. Oh, and she's also packing a bazooka. But on top of that, Lei Wulong is also back. He brings along his fancy crane style of fighting, along with several flashy aerial moves.

Four more fighters are promised for this new season and they'll all be part of a new Season Pass. Pricing details are coming shortly.
