A Tekken anime series is going to be released on Netflix later this year

It's still unknown if Bloodline is canon to the games or not. If we presume that Bloodline will be like Castlevania and follow the games loosely, the animated show will shine some light on the confusing Mishima family that's behind The King of Iron First Tournament as well as the powerful corporation that serves as its financial backer and benefactor. Speaking of, Heihachi Mishima, the franchise's central antagonist, as well as Jun Kazama, Jin's mother and a playable character in 1995's Tekken 2, both appear in the trailer. Other familiar faces include Paul phoenix, King, Leroy Smith, Kazuya Mishima, Ganryu, and of course, the Ogre.

Bloodline represents Netflix's continued deep dive into video game adaptations. Only time will tell if Bloodline will meet the same fate as Arcane or Castlevania or if it's going to die as soon as it starts streaming, just like the live-action Cowboy Bebop.

Unfortunately, Netflix did not confirm when exactly Tekken: Bloodline will be released on the streaming platform as well as how many episodes it will have. In the meantime, fans can look forward to watching fighting game professionals duke it out in Tekken 7 at EVO 2022 from August 5-7.
