Mobile game company Netmarble revealed this week that they will be doing a Tekken 7 crossover event in “The King of Fighters AllStar” mobile game. This long-running role-playing battle tournament is set to introduce characters from the Bandai Nmaco’s arcade fighting title Tekken 7.
Tekken 7 Crossover is going to be global release
The news was announced on a Twitch livestream. This was further elaborated in an article in the Hollywood Reporter. Game streamer “Maximilian Dood” Christiansen and Tekken producer and commentator Mark Julio said that this will be a global release. Julio spoke about his own history with the Tekken franchise. He said that he had started playing this game when he was younger, later playing competitively.
“We’ve been trying to make one of the best games on mobile, so part of that is giving fans what they want and it’s kind of a staple in fighting games to do these crossovers,” game producer Travis Marshall tells The Hollywood Reporter. “This is a content update which will elevate the game with more characters to use across all the game modes. All the moves are straight from the Tekken games, so we’re really recreating Tekken 7 in our beat-’em-up world “
Both Tekken and The King of Fighters are popular abroad, but the former has a slightly larger audience. “We’ve noticed that Tekken is a little more well known than The King of Fighters in the U.S., so we’re hoping that this will allow [the game] to stretch further its reach in terms of who’s playing it and bring in new audience members who are going to stay around for a long time,” says Marshall. .
Fans are looking forward to this interesting and once in a lifetime crossover. With hopes of creating a unique game netmarble have launched this collaboration in hopes of reaching a wider audience. Hopefully they can pull this off if not it might end up being a big disaster.
