FGN: New Year New Character

Shaheen hails from Saudi Arabia and is making his debut in Tekken 7. Nothing else is known but we do know that more new characters are to come.

Kung Lao Returns In Mortal Kombat X

It was leaked that Kung Lao would be returning in MKX...as an old man!? Since this is a leak there is no trailer for him yet but we have that to look forward to.

I find it funny how the West constantly mixes in Arabic and Persian culture together. They're similar, but one is unlike the other.
That said, maybe the reason is because of the more excessive design on Shaheen, since that's often more of a Persian thing.
