Just because you’re not online doesn’t mean others can challenge you, say Namco. Tekken 6 allows any player to ”download your ghost” and square off against your fight style.
A title update will add online scenario co-op after launch, pitting players against the AI. Full ranked matches and leaderboards are a given. You can ”upload replays of killer matches”.
”The development team, myself included, have poured heart and soul into the series for 15 years so it is with great excitement that we await the release of the game and seeing it in the hands of the fans,” said Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada.
”We are also pleasantly surprised at the overwhelming attention the title has received from the media and fans alike. TEKKEN 6 is the pinnacle of the series and we look forward to the reaction from gamers worldwide once they’ve had a chance to play it.”
A full breakdown of Tekken 6 online features is below. There seems to be extra things for PS3 Home users, like a title lounge to challenge others directly and some rewards too.
Tekken 6 is being released on Xbox 360 and PS3 this October 30th in Europe.
