Battle Concept and New System
Aggressive" is the keyword for the battle concept of this title. While maintaining the play feel and tactics of the "Tekken" series, the aggressive and aggressive fisticuffs and enhanced stage destruction gimmicks will provide both "players" and "spectators" with the most thrilling experience in the series.

The key to this new battle system is the "Heat" system. The new "Heat" system, which is the key to the series' success, allows players to actively engage in battle by enhancing special actions and the individuality and characteristics of each character, and to use it as a starting point for their own offensive actions.
