There also appears to be a stage based on The Walking Dead modeled after the infamous "eenie meenie miney moe" scene, where Negan lined up some of the show's central characters and selected some to be executed via baseball bat. He will come equipped with his signature barbedwire-wrapped baseball bat Lucille, which he uses as his primary weapon while he whacks and trash-talks his opponents. Now, many months after Negan's initial announcement, and we finally have a release date for his Tekken 7 debut.Īs revealed in a new trailer, The Walking Dead's Negan will be coming to Tekken 7 on February 28.

Players will have to find out for themselves how Negan turned out when season 2 of Tekken 7 becomes available for download at some point in the future.Last year, it was revealed that Negan from The Walking Dead would be making his way to the Tekken 7 roster as yet another guest fighter for the game.

Negan would have to be significantly toned down to fit in with the somewhat cheesy Tekken series, especially when compared to the Mortal Kombat franchise, where characters like the Predator are free to wreak all the bloody havoc they desire. Negan is also known for his foul language, more so in the comics than in the basic cable television show. Using the aforementioned weapon known as Lucille, Negan has violently murdered Walking Dead staples like Glenn and Abraham, and the results were graphic. What does make the addition of Negan extra strange, however, is the character's history of brutal violence.

Of course, the fighting game genre has proven to be prone to gimmicky guest characters: Injustice 2 was graced with the presence of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Mortal Kombat series has hosted horror movie icons like Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees, and the appearance by Yoda and Darth Vader in Soul Calibur IV remains a piece of head-scratching history. But a more unconventional guest character came in the form of Noctis from the Japanese role-playing game Final Fantasy XV. Fighting game characters Akuma and Geese Howard from Street Fighter and Fatal Fury, respectively, are guest fighters in the game. While Negan is a left-field choice for the Tekken series, Tekken 7 is already known for having a couple of oddball guest characters. Players will soon find out whether or not the competitors of the King of the Iron Fist Tournament are ready to contend with Negan's barbed wire-covered baseball bat, Lucille.

Negan, as played by the scenery-chewing Jeffrey Dean Morgan, might currently be locked up in AMC's The Walking Dead, but the sadistic leader of the Saviors will roam free to fight as he likes in Tekken 7. Negan's dialogue during Bandai Namco's Tekken trailer tease echoes his first TV appearance, displaying his unique blend of intimidation and gleefulness.
