The King of Iron Fist Tournament returns with improved graphics, new characters and various new gameplay features. Originally set for release on the Playstation 3 is has been replaced by Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion.

Overview

In development since 2005 and originally listed as a PlayStation 3 exclusive, Tekken 6 is the latest game in the 13-year-old Tekken franchise of 3D fighting games. It is no longer set to be released on any home consoles as it has been replaced by an updated version: Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, which will be released on both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

Gameplay in Tekken traditionally consists of levels comprised of circular or square arenas, where two characters duke it out using various combos, holds, special attacks and counters until one of them runs out of health. Tekken 6, however, will contain multi-tiered, interactive (probably destructible) stages as well. The standard, combo-based Tekken gameplay will return,with new features such as item moves (for example, Bryan can now use a shotgun), a new "bound" system (during an air combo, certain moves will knock the opponent down and make them bounce off the floor, allowing the player to continue their combo), a new "rage" system (when a player's health goes below a certain point, their attacks do much more damage). Additionally, every move in the game has been reanimated, character customization options have been significantly improved, and an increased health bar has been implemented due to the new rage and bound systems allowing players to deplete greater amounts of health.

Story

Jin saluting his army during Tekken 6's CG intro

At the conclusion of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 (Tekken 5), Jin Kazama defeated his great grandfather and tournament sponsor Jinpachi Mishima and won the tournament, as well its its grand prize - the Mishima Zaibatsu. Jin immediately changed the direction of the company, beginning various programs within the company and converted the Tekken Force into a spy project. People began suspecting darkness in the president of the Mishima Zaibatsu, which lead to increased tension, fighting and eventually a full-scale war, with the entire world drawn in. With nations beginning to lose power, war became a profitable option for the Mishima Zaibatsu, which lead to Jin announcing the Zaibatsu as an independent nation, declaring war on the entire world.

Initially, the Mishima Zaibatsu proved to be a formidable enemy, but then G Corporation, lead by Jin's father Kazuya, rose to become the Zaibatsu's main opposition. The world saw G Corporation as its savior, and endorsed them completely in their attempt to suppress the Zaibatsu. G Corporation claimed that the president of the Mishima Zaibatsu was the root cause of the war, and announced that they will pay an immense amount of money to anyone who can capture Jin Kazama dead or alive. G Corporation's current CEO and chairman, Kazuya Mishima, took over the company after killing those within it who betrayed him just after The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. As if the Mishima Zaibatsu anticipated this move, the Mishima Zaibatsu announced the opening of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6.
