A New Champion Shall Rise at the Tekken World Tour Finals

Bandai Namco today announced details for its upcoming Tekken World Tour Finals tournament, presented by Nissin Cup Noodles. For the first time in its 20+ year franchise history, the Tekken World Finals will be held outside of Japan. Tekken fans will bear witness to the crowning of a new Tekken World Champion on November 12th as 16 of the best fighters from around the globe converge upon the City View at Metreon in San Francisco, California for an all-day battle royale to determine a new Tekken champion. The event will also be livestreamed exclusively on Twitch.

The hard-hitting kicks off at 12:00pm PST as the first double elimination rounds of the Tekken World Tour Finals begin. The 16 top seeded players representing the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions will attempt to destroy their opponents, and from the pile of vanquished foes, two finalists will emerge for the final match. Tekken franchise Director, Katsuhiro Harada, and Senior Designer, Michael Murray, will both be in attendance to meet fans and be on-hand to crown the new Tekken champion at the end of the night who will take home a $50,000 prize purse, secure a place in Tekken history, and earn eternal bragging rights.
