Tekken was a mobile fighting game in the Tekken series developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It was released worldwide for Android and iOS on March 1, 2018. As of February 15, 2019, the game can no longer be played.

Plot

The game revolves around Kazuya Mishima and Nina Williams, who both lose their powers in a fight due to the main antagonist, “Revenant.” His goal is to revive Ogre by stealing the abilities of all Tekken fighters. Thus, Kazuya and the rest of the gang team up to defeat Revenant. It is the only way to stop this new foe, and they manage to obtain and combine all the ancient artifacts needed from the Acolytes of Body, Knowledge, and Spirit. During the quest for those items they fight with other interested parties, as other characters not under Revenant's control also sought out those artifacts for themselves.

Gameplay

Tekken Mobile is a touch based fighting game that incorporates gacha elements. The gameplay and characters are updated from Tekken 7. Players select characters to place on a team and face off against a team of opposing characters. The objective is to defeat the opponent by using a collection of "Waza Cards" (a total of nine in one deck), which makes their character use a certain attack depending on the card's color. Each character has an elemental affinity that consists of either earth, fire, water, or lightning. The affinities give either an advantage or disadvantage depending on the matchup.

Players can upgrade their fighters by getting special fragments (common, to rare) which are bought in premium or epic packs using real money.

Cancellation

The game's servers were abruptly switched off on February 15, 2019, making it no longer playable. Possible reasons for the cancellation was the negative reception of the game's expensive prices, and lack of revenue on the game's part. As a result, the upcoming new character named Taekwondo Girl did not see a release. Fans gave her the name Shuwawei, but is not an official name.

Kazumi Mishima was also planned, but didn't make it into the game before it was canceled.
