At the Spike Video Game Awards 2011, Namco Bandai unveiled their plans to release Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on home consoles worldwide for the holiday season in 2012. As the sequel to the original 2000’s title Tekken Tag Tournament, this sequel, this game is being brought to the XBox360 and Playstation 3 with all the unique content and features from the arcade release as well as brand new features not seen in any other version – console or arcade.
Katsuhiro Harada, TEKKEN Project Director at Namco Bandai Games had this to say:
We have heard the voice of fans directly at various tournaments and through social media. As TEKKEN is the top-selling fighting game franchise worldwide we know expectations for the widely anticipated sequel to TEKKEN Tag Tournament are high, but we are confident we can deliver what you’ve been asking for and even more.
On the other hand, Olivier Comte, Senior Vice President at Namco Bandai Partners had this to say:
This is an incredibly important game for NAMCO BANDAI Games, for the TEKKEN franchise, and for the fans. With the vast legacy of the original game, it’s hard to imagine a game that could energise the fight game community more than this, and I know Harada-san and his team are going to deliver something spectacular.
While the game has not recieved an official release date, as mentioned before it is slated for sometime within the Holiday Season of 2012.
