Tekken Revolution Is Free-To-Play PS3 Title, Full Trailer Released

Nanco Bandai has announced Tekken Revolution accompanied by a brand new trailer. Details via press release inside.

Apparently some fans weren’t pleased that the free-to-play title would only be released on PS3, so they sought an explanation from Katsuhiro Harada, Tekken Revolution’s Game Director/Chief Producer. This was his response:

Ask Microsoft yourself. I already asked them about free to play of the console last year. RT @dgdouglas15: how about on xbox 360?

Press Release:

Crafted by Namco Bandai Games’ internal Tekken development team, Tekken Revolution provides fighting game fans and newcomers alike the hard-hitting gameplay of the famed franchise. Choose from an initial cast of eight iconic Tekken characters to train and battle against AI opponents in Arcade Mode or take on fearsome human rivals spanning the globe through online Ranked and Player Matches. The game also features new bone-crunching Special Arts and Critical Arts moves designed to help newcomers deliver hard-hitting attacks and advanced players to employ new strategies with their favorite fighters.

For the first time in Tekken history players will be able to level-up their characters, increasing three key attributes; Strength, Endurance and Vigor, to create a combatant tuned to individual play styles. Develop a defensive tank character with high HP to withstand knockout blows while offense focused players can create a damage-inflicting character with low health but high critical hit rates to devastate opponents with a flurry of attacks.
