Namco Bandai Games today announced the upcoming release of a fully featured 3D film based on the Tekken fighting game series, titled Tekken Blood Vengeance. The development of Tekken Blood Vengeance is in the hands of a few notable figures of the game series, CG production and sci-fi storytelling. Youichi Mouri, who did the opening movies for Tekken 5 and Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, is directing the film. The production is being done by Digital Frontier, who also worked on Resident Evil: Degeneration. The screenplay is being written by Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex‘s Dai Sato.
“Over the past years that I’ve been working on Tekken, fans have been begging for a full CG Tekken movie,” said Tekken creator and project director Katsuhiro Harada. “This movie is for those fans. Tekken has always been known for its colorful array of characters and background stories, and this movie is just one way of exploring that world from a new angle while bringing insight to the series.”
