The Tekken series has existed since the mid-1990s, so for some new to the franchise the timing and events of the story might be a bit coꦗnfusing. Unlike some other fighting games, this one had a deep plot involving the trials and tribulations of what is possibly one of the most dysfunctionally dramatic families in all of gaming.

The franchise follows the Mishima clan in tales of father versus son, grandfather versus grandson, and in between. Here is a list 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:of each Tekken game in chronological order. Spinoff games will also be included. The releas✱e years of the games will be also list☂ed.

Updated on March 10, 2024, by Gonçalo Santos: Even three decades after the first launch, the Tekken series is still going strong. The launch of Tekken 8 has been one of the most successful ever for Bandai Namco, and is an excellent addition for any fan of fighting games in general.

We're updating this list to add Tekken 8, which seems to have closed yet another chapter in the Mishima saga, with an obvious hint t☂hat the family will remain the focus of any future games.

Tekken

Launched In 1994

The first game kicks off the story of when Kazuya is five and gets chucked down a mountain by his father. It was explained in 7 that Kazuya's 📖mother had a power called a devil form and Heihachi wanted to see if his child inherited it too.

The rest of the story is Kazuya's requ🌸est f꧋or revenge against his father, who he eventually comes to overthrow.

Tekken 2

Launched In 1995

The sequel picks up two years later and follows the story of Kazuya running his father's business. ღSomehow he and the company have become more corrupt before.

This is the game where Kazuya meets Jun Kazama and conceives his son Jin, continuing the family l♓ine. Alas, Mishima men are not known for being attentive fathers. Kazuya cared for Jun, but he was not exactly ever destined to be a family man.

Tekken 3

Launched In 1997

This game follows the story of Jin who was raised by his mother alone. Set between 15-20 years after the previous King of Iron Fist Tournament, Jin seeks out his grand🃏father Heihachi to train him to be strong enough to defeat a beast called Ogre. Little does Jin know that Heihachi has an ulterior motive in mind, as he seeks to use Ogre's power for his own gain.

Jin's driven by a desire to avenge his mother, who he believꦅes to have been killed by Ogre.

Tekken Tag Tournament

Also Launched In 1997

This was a player-versus-player style game with the playstyle of Tekken 3 where teams of two fought ꦜagainst one another.

In addition to having the charactﷺers from Tekken 3, the game had c🧸haracters from Tekken 2 as well.

Tekken Card Challenge

Launched In 1999

While not a part of the actual mainᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚline story, this game has the characters from Tekken 3, so one could say it's specifically tied to that game. It was a card game similar to Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon released for a console called the WonderSwan.

This handheld device was launched exclusively in Japan, serving as competition for the Game Boy Color and 🧜the Neo Geo Pocket Color. The WonderSwan held up pretty well for a while until its discontinuation by owner Bandai in 2003.

Tekken Advance

Launched In 2001

This title for the Gameboy Advance h🧔as several of the characters from Tekken 3 and follows a very similar story, though much of it isn't considered canon.

It was the initial Tekken title to be launched on a Nintendo console, and it was Bandai Nam🍨co's attempt to popularize the franchise for handheld play in the West since the WonderSwan was region-locked.

Tekken 4

Also Launched In 2001

The fourth installment in the series takes place two years after the events of the third main entry. Its story follows g꧃ood old Heihachi doing biogenetic experiments and finding that the son he threw into a volcano two decades prior may n🦩ot be as dead as he expected.

Heihachi organizes the King of the Iron Fist tournament in an attempt to attract his son and grandson, Jin. It'𒁏s a very drama-packed family reunion as one would expect.

Tekken 5

Launched In 2004

This game picks up right where the previous one💎 left off, with Jin having left his father and grandfather out cold. Heihachi is actually absent for most of the game here, with somebody completely different and surprising organizing the tournament this time.

That figure proves to be none other than Jinpachi, father of Heihachi and great-grandfather to Jin. While Jinpa♓chi is nowhere near as cruel as his son, he does come with a catch.

Death By Degrees

Launched In 2005

Nina Williams is one of the most 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:popular characters in the entire Tekken ꦬfranchise, so it's no surprise she got her own spin-off game that goes into detail on𒊎 her backstory. There is no canon time for when it takes place.

However, there is a scene where Nina somewhat squa💞shes her rivalry with her sister Anna. The interaction is extremely brief, yet it seems t🃏o be the catalyst for events that happen in the main Tekken games.

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection

Also Launched In 2005

This game for the PSP has th💯e same plot as the original 5, just with a few added cಞharacters and plotlines.

Te𝓡kken 5: Dark Resurre♑ction's new characters are Emilie de Rochefort, Sergei Dragunov, and Armor King II, and they each get their own stories.
