Tekken
Since its arcade debut in 1994, Tekken has been a cornerstone of the fighting game world, delivering fast-paced action, a diverse roster, and a storyline packed with family feuds and over-the-top martial arts battles. From Heihachi and Kazuya Mishima’s legendary father-son rivalry to fan favorites like Jin Kazama, Ling Xiaoyu, and King, Tekken thrives on both gameplay mastery and unforgettable characters.
Across more than three decades, Tekken has evolved from arcade cabinets to home consoles and international eSports tournaments, cementing its reputation as one of the most competitive fighters around. Its unique blend of technical gameplay and zany, often hilarious side content (kangaroo boxers, anyone?) gives the franchise a distinct flavor that keeps fans coming back for every new entry.
“The King of Iron Fist Tournament begins!”

It has a dude with a tiger head. It must be Awesome, Right?
Fun Fact
The name Tekken translates from Japanese as “Iron Fist.” Yoshimitsu, one of the franchise’s quirkiest characters, has appeared in every Tekken game with a new, ever-weirder design each time.
