Many overseas game media, including destructoid, announced on the 15th that they have confirmed new information about the new Tekken 7 character through a press kit sent by Bandai Namco. First, the character’s name is Lidia Sobieska, and at a young age he took office as Prime Minister of Poland. The video released in February also confirmed that she was a young woman. Along with this, there is a karate belt sent by Heihachi Mishima to the Prime Minister in the press kit, which shows that Lydia is using karate as her main focus.
Along with this, Heihachi’s letter to Lydia was also released. According to this, Lydia ordered the withdrawal of the iron fist unit under the Mishima conglomerate stationed in Poland. In response, Heihachi said he was unable to accept the withdrawal request. In addition, he added that if cooperating with the Mishima chaebol, we can promise support for Poland, but if not, the country will be at risk. If there is any objection, the letter is concluded with the content that he or she should participate in the Tekken contest and convey his wishes.
Lydia, which was first revealed through a teaser video on February 21, was not revealed at the time of announcement, and only part of the face was revealed. However, as the background of the Polish prime minister with silver hair and scars on his face was revealed, it was predicted that the Witcher 3 Siri will be added to Tekken 7 as a collaboration character. However, through the information released this time, it was confirmed that this character is a separate character from Siri.
In addition, on the 23rd, the name of the new character was leaked through the MS Store as Krystyna, which is different from Lydia Sobieska, which was released this time. At that time, it can be confirmed that the name leaked to the MS store was wrong.
Tekken 7 DLC 18/19, which contains various contents including new characters, is expected to be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox series X/S in the spring of 2021.
