Available exclusively from PlayStation Network in late summer, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online will have new match modes and ranking.
Tekken fans rejoice: courtesy of PlayStation Network, the King of Iron Fist Tournament will soon be playable online for the first time.
Namco and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe have announced that they will be releasing an updated, online version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection for PlayStation 3, available exclusively by download from the PlayStation Store.
Fight your way through the highly-anticipated online features which include ranked and non-ranked battles - allowing fans to show off their fighting skills in a non-competitive environment or to battle it out with other Tekken masters to establish once and for all who the true King of Iron Fist is.
The new Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online download will include Opti Match, Quick Match, Custom Match and Friend Match options – making it easy to find the right match for you. You'll also have the opportunity to study your opponents by viewing their stats and watching them battle. When not fighting yourself, you can psych out your next opponent with live voice chat.
You'll fight your way from Beginner rank all the way to deadly Dark Lord – and there will be an Online News Ticker posting the weekly, monthly and overall rank leaders at any given point, so there will be no doubt about who's King of Iron Fist at any one time. The online update also includes two new single player modes, including Practice Mode, where you can hone your reflexes before battling online, and Survival Mode in which you must defeat as many opponents as possible with a limited health bar.
Tekken™5: Dark Resurrection Online will be available as a single download from the Store in late summer. An update pack containing the Online modes will also be available for those who already own the title.
