Things just can't seem to stay secret anymore, can they? Dataminers have cracked the Xbox 360 disc and discovered a few extra characters that don't appear to be just standard unlockables, including:
- Crazed scientist Dr. Bosconovitch
- Original Tekken Tag boss character Unknown
- The skinny version of Bob from his Tekken 6 ending
- Xiaoyu's classmate Miharu
- Emilie's butlet Sebastian
- Lee's alter ego Violet
These characters appear to be future DLC to join the other DLC characters being offered by GameStop for preorder. Namco has said that it plans to offer all character DLC free of chrage, so don't expect to be whipping out that credit card for anything beyond the physical box copy. It seems they learned from the controversy surrounding Capcom, and hoping to win some market share in the crowded Fighting Game space. A smart move, if you ask me. People love free stuff.
Stay tuned for our review of the game coming tomorrow!
