'Tekken' and its Pop Culture Significance

Arcade fighting video games have been massive since then, and now, it is an evolved genre as people already use it to compete in e-Sports experiences and tournaments available worldwide. One of the most prominent titles for arcade video games and e-Sports is Bandai Namco's "Tekken," a famous game that has a massive story on its characters, making it a significant franchise for all.

The franchise's latest game release is "Tekken 7," which was last released by the company in February 2015. There are DLCs and additional content released by the developers, but it has been seven years since the game's last release, and it screams a sequel title from gamers and fans alike.

Even a proposed title that will have two famous arcade games go against each other, "Tekken vs. Street Fighter," sees cancellation from CAPCOM and Bandai Namco.

Despite no new games from the company, an upcoming title from the franchise will appear on Netflix by August this year, and it will make the Iron Fist Tournament and other elements in the game available for all. For now, fans and enthusiasts of the famous game franchise have to wait for the series adaptation of the title.
