When is the Tekken Bloodline anime series release date?

After being kept secret for many months by Netflix, the Tekken Bloodline anime release date has finally been announced. Announced last March, this animated expansion of the world of the famous fighting game saga published by Bandai Namco will hit the arena two weeks before the end of the summer season. All episodes of Tekken Bloodline will be released exactly on August 18, 2022

Tekken Bloodline is a Netflix original production. In fact, the animated series is broadcast exclusively on this SVOD service and nobody else. Being a subscriber or signing up by mid-August is a sine qua non to discover the D-Day story of the Kazama family, as well as the life of Jin, the main protagonist of the saga and son of Jun Kazama. None of the previous animation productions with the red N have had the honor of a physical release, either on Blu-ray or DVD. It seems unlikely that Tekken Bloodline is the exception that proves the rule.

Tekken Bloodline is an integral part of the franchise developed and published by Bandai Namco. The animated series begins exactly between Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 before narrating the events of the third video game episode of the saga. According to statements from Netflix and the creatives involved in the project, this new program follows the story of Jin Kazama and his family told in Tekken 3 while taking some liberties with the source material.

What is the story of the anime series Tekken Bloodline?

Only power counts… Jin Kazama had learned his family’s traditional martial arts of self-defense from his mother at an early age, but these were of no use when a monstrous being appeared and destroyed everything he held dear and changed his life forever. Angry at himself, Jin swore revenge and attempted to gain the absolute power necessary to achieve his goals. His quest leads him to the ultimate battle arena: The King of Iron Fist Tournament. -Netflix
