Tekken, what many consider the ‘Grand Daddy’ of fighters, is expecting another iteration in the form of Tekken 6. While avid fighting fans will bemoan the lacklustre performance of the series, sagging somewhere in the middle, this new version promises to bring the franchise back to form.

Tekken 6 has some strong competition in the arena - with Street Fighter IV releasing this year and an already incredible entry to the genre in the form of Namco’s own Soul Calibur IV - but Tekken’s creators claim their game is up to the challenge.

Watch the latest Tekken 6 trailer below, including CG and in-game action:

Shortly after it was announced that Atari would be bringing Tekken 6 to Europe, a batch of fresh screenshots have been released.

Namco promises that the title will be the “biggest and best in the series,” and if initial gameplay footage and the following screens are anything to go by, they may very well be right.
