Get ready for Tekken Tag 2. Katsuhiro Harada creator of the Tekken franchise hinted at the game been dropped slap bang between the releases of these two highly anticipated pieces, which means Summer in Japan, just got a shit lot hotter.
Looking at the plot subjectively here might not be the best thing to do, currently unannounced it's anyone’s guess, and don’t be told otherwise. Speculation points towards events happening outside the current Tekken universe, as you’d expect, over the past 17 years almost all characters have attempted to assasinate, murder or obliterate one another, so teamwork is pretty much a no no right.
But who the hell’s keeping up with the story? Time to bust some spleens!
There’s plenty here to be getting excited about, fresh faces and a few old faces too. Boasting 44 (currently) playable characters makes it the biggest lineup in Tekken history, surpassed only by 'Marvel Vs Capcom' 2’s 58-character roster as the largest player selection for a video game in the world, this is going to be one hell of competitive game.With the return of 'Jun' confirmed a few months back (due to popular demand and 4000 tweets according to Harada), 'True Ogre', 'Devil' (as part of 'Kazuya'), the question on everyone’s lips is ‘Who is Jaycee?’. Theories have gone through the roof as to her true identity, with fans generally agreeing that 'Julia Chang' would be the most likely candidate. 3 main reasons, they wear the same pendant, 'Jaycee' is phonetically 'J.C.' or 'Julia Chang', and along with her move set and facial structure, wearing feathers in her outfit has really nailed the case closed... Check mate.
Speculation aside, the real-time, in game footage looks fantastic, and if it’s got anything on the original Tekken Tag we’re laughin. Check out some of what’s been dropped recently.
