Netflix has just dropped the official trailer for Tekken: Bloodline, an upcoming anime adaptation of the popular fighting game franchise Tekken.
Drawing from the series’ original storyline, the new anime will follow the journey of Jin Kazama as he trains to become a formidable fighter under the almost abusive mentorship of his grandfather Heihachi Mishima. While the trailer itself doesn’t reveal too much at the moment, it does hint at a few appearances from other classic characters from the franchise.
As the official synopsis reads:
“”Power is everything.” Jin Kazama learned the family self-defense arts, Kazama-Style Traditional Martial Arts, from his mother at an early age. Even so, he was powerless when a monstrous evil suddenly appeared, destroying everything dear to him, changing his life forever. Angry at himself for being unable to stop it, Jin vowed revenge and sought absolute power to exact it. His quest will lead to the ultimate battle on a global stage — The King of Iron Fist Tournament.”
There’s currently no precise release date for Tekken: Bloodline, but the anime is scheduled to arrive sometime this year. Stay tuned for more updates to come.
