Bandai Namco Announces Tekken World Tour

Bandai Namco is partnering with Twitch to create the Tekken World Tour. Managed and streamed exclusively by Twitch, the Tekken World Tour will encompass Tekken tournaments from around the globe, seeking the best Tekken 7 players to compete in the Tekken World Finals taking place in North America this November.

The Tekken World Tour will kick-off in the U.S. on June 16-18 at the CEO Fighting Game Championships with additional stops in Orlando, FL, Dallas, TX, Orange, CA, and more. Players that are not able to attend live tournaments will be able to complete through official online tournaments with more details to be shared soon on the Tekken World Tour website. Lastly, a tournament is not a tournament unless there’s a cash purse involved and the Tekken World Tour has that covered with over $200,000 in prize money up for grabs along with limitless bragging rights and glory.

Tekken 7 is just days away from making its way into living rooms for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam on June 2nd.
