New Tekken: Bloodline Trailer Reveals Release Date

Netflix has revealed a release date with a brand-new trailer for Tekken: Bloodline. The animated series is based on the popular fighting game franchise and the new trailer features Jin Kazama during his early years as he looks to avenge his mother’s death. This leads him to the iconic The King of Iron Fist Tournament and will most likely encompass the premise of the series.

Here’s the official summary for Tekken: Bloodline:

“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.

Having debuted in 1994 and its most recent entry in the franchise releasing in 2015’s Tekken 7, the series has always found itself in the inner conflicts of the Mishima family and the King of the Iron Fist Tournament. Although previous adaptations of the franchise have been released, one in 1998 with Tekken: The Motion Picture and in 2011 with Tekken: Blood Vengeance, Netflix has found itself a secret formula for animated adaptations of video game franchises with Castlevania and Arcane being notable successful adaptations.

Tekken: Bloodline will stream exclusively on Netflix on August 18th, 2022. Check out the new teaser below:
