Bandai Namco Announces Tekken Mobile Game


After the success of Tekken 7 on consoles and PC, Bandai Namco have announced Tekken Mobile for iOS and Android devices. Fans interested in the game can pre-register on the official website of the upcoming title. The game has soft-launched in Canada, though no international release date or window has been revealed as of this writing.

Kazuya Mishima and a number of fan favorite characters have been confirmed, as the game is promising fans over 100 fighters with unique fighting styles. Judging from the screenshots, it looks similar to the Injustice 2 mobile game in terms of character collection and upgrades. We can also expect a story mode featuring Kazuya, online matches and special events, which is expected in most mobile titles.

Here is a synopsis of the game's features from the Canadian iOS Store:

TEKKEN FEATURES
• Collect over 100 characters with unique fighting styles
• Upgrade and unlock over 20 unique special moves for each fighter
• Battle it out in Unique Game modes including STORY MODE missions, online versus battles in DOJO CHALLENGE and rotating LIVE EVENT challenges!
STORY MODE - Explore the world of TEKKEN
• Join the legendary fighter, Kazuya Mishima, as he battles against his toughest adversary yet! Battle through a map-based campaign featuring unique encounters and specialized and powerful bosses.

DOJO CHALLENGE - Online Versus Battles

LIVE EVENTS - Brand new content to experience daily

It will be interesting to see how Tekken Mobile compares to other games in the series, particularly Tekken 7. Free-to-Play games can be hit and miss, particularly when paying to win remains an option, but it should be fine if grinding for rewards is a possible feat. Previous mobile fighters like Injustice: Gods Among Us were able to balance this out well, so Bandai Namco better take some notes.
