The History of Tekken in 8-Bit – Part #1

The Tekken franchise is one of the videogame industry’s longest running series encompassing over 20 years of history. This 20-year history also means numerous plot-points within the Tekken saga may have been forgotten or lost to the annals of time.

Today, Bandai Namco are going to get everyone caught up on all the drama and twists-and-turns contained within Tekken’s long-running storyline through a fun 8-Bit Cinema rendition of Tekken’s franchise history covering Tekken 1 through Tekken 3. Relive Heihachi’s cold-blooded parenting philosophy as he drops his five-year-old son, Kazuya, off a cliff only to have Kazuya survive; awakening an undying need for revenge against his father and his thirst for power to take-over the Mishima Zaibatsu. Learn the origins of Devil Jin (Heihachi’s grandson) and how his storyline plays into Tekken lore.

Tekken 7 will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam on June 2nd.
