Namco Bandai Games Europe has announced that over 2.5 million copies of Tekken 6 have been shipped to Europe and Pal regions for PlayStation 3 and XboX360 gaming systems. In this occasion Bandai has opened the newest King of Iron Fist Tournament to all comers on 30th October 2009.

The shipped copies are of three kinds: standard retail, Arcade Stick and Limited edition; all of them will bring the biggest character line up in the history of the series, a brand-new Scenario Campaign mode, spectacular high-definition 60fps visuals with full-time variable animation blur, and an array of online fight play options. Furthermore, in selected territories you may even purchase an exclusive Tekken 6 PlayStation 3 hardware bundle, just for your fighting satisfaction!

"This is a big day for us. The European market and fans have always been very important to the success of Tekken so we're thrilled that Tekken 6 will finally be in their hands today," said Katsuhiro Harada, Tekken Project Director of Namco Bandai "More than 50% of Tekken fans worldwide are from Europe and their feedback has played a crucial role in helping to shape the game. Reflecting this, many of the new characters added are from Europe. I hope everyone enjoys Tekken 6 and that they continue to support the franchise, and I look forward to seeing you all online."

The game will feature:

  • Tekken 6 online fight play, accessible via PlayStation Network and Xbox Live online game service, will offer lightning fast character reaction times and consistent 60fps visuals  
  • Ranked Match and Player Match for training
  • The ability to upload ghost characters and match replays
  • Leaderboards for Europe, Asia, America and the whole world
  • Coming this winter via a free downloadable update, the online Scenario Campaign mode will let players team up with friends around the globe for intense two player online co-op campaigns against AI controlled enemies in massive-scale battles.

Fans who want to show off their fighting skills in front of an audience can take part in the real King of Iron Fist Tournament, with public Tekken 6 competition events taking place since early October across Europe and Australia. The winners from each country will come together to compete in a grand regional final in London on December 12th to establish once and for all the true Tekken god.
