Tekken fans will be delighted with the new fighters on Tekken 7.

Bandai Namco, the mobile and home video game publisher behind Tekken, said the game begins with location testing in Japan.

In a video uploaded by YouTube user Abdul-Ghaffar Allaf, Tekken 7 features the unannounced character named Claudio. It also shows another new player named Katarina.

Bandai Namco is also testing some fundamental changes to the Tekken formula. They're adding Rage Arts and Power Crush to Tekken 7.

Rage Arts allows players to enter fighter-specific commands to start a Rage State that increases attack damage and grants access to special moves.

Moreover, Power Crush consists of special moves that can't be interrupted by attacks. It still leaves the players open to taking damage, however. Players can use Power Crush as much as they want to but doing so will decrease the health bar.

Siliconera, a blog dedicated to international video game news, said Tekken 7 will feature some fighter customization items, as well.

Previous news said Bandai Namco will use Unreal Engine 4 with its logo displayed prominently in the videos. This doesn't mean this is the final product, said Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada.

Harada said its game's graphics are "60 percent" finished and it doesn't yet include the character lighting, skin shaders and other features.

Harada disclosed another potential new fighter when he surveyed players in August regarding its design.

Tekken 7 is set to release in Japan by 2015 but there's no information as to when it will release on consoles.
