Tekken : Bloodline Rebellion


Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion is an upcoming updated version of Tekken 6. It was officially announced on August 28th, 2008. It is set to be released in arcades during Winter 2008. The official trailer was shown at the AM Show on September 18th, 2008 in Tokyo, Japan. It is similar to the Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection upgrade for Tekken 5. As of Wednesday, October 8, 2008, Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion has been confirmed as a title for both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.

Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion will feature two new characters, Alisa Bosconovitch, who is the creation of Doctor Geppetto Boskonovitch, and Lars Alexandersson, who is described as a "strange foreigner".

It is suspected that an older character, such as Kunimitsu or Jun Kazama, may also join the character roster. However, no such thing has been confirmed yet.

Many new things, other than the two new characters, are also being introduced with Bloodline Rebellion, such as several new stages (currently four), customization items (including what is referred to as Character Dressup, allowing new "Item Move" features), and an all-new feature that allows the player to customize the hair of the characters, such as hairstyles and hair colors. Furthermore, Namco has attempted to balance out the characters, as several characters (most notably Bob) were considered much too overpowered in Tekken 6 .


From Tekken 6 to Bloodline Rebellion, the Tekken-Net ID cards that have ranks below red (from the "Conqueror" rank and below) get reset back to "Beginner". However, the ones that have ranks above red remain the same .

Additionally, the game's final boss, Azazel, has had its look altered, as shown in the official trailer. Rather than being mainly blue, like in Tekken 6, it is now mainly red . Whether or not the game's bonus boss, Nancy-MI847J, has received a design change is currently unknown.

As of Wednesday, December 3, 2008, in an interview with Katsuhiro Harada, it was revealed that Namco / Namco-Bandai is "considering" including console-specific characters for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. However, there are no concrete plans for the console versions at the moment.
