FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:

Leading video game developer and publisher NAMCO BANDAI Games America today announced that TEKKEN 5: Dark Resurrection Online is now available to download on the PLAYSTATION Store exclusively for the PS3. This is the moment TEKKEN fighting fans have been waiting for, as players everywhere will now be able to test their superior TEKKEN skills outside of their own living rooms with players from all over the continent via the PLAYSTATION Network. The new online mode will allow players to create custom matches, join ranked fights, check out other people’s fighting styles in the online lobby and be ranked based on their scores on online leader boards.

TEKKEN 5: Dark Resurrection Online boasts a ton of new online modes, including Opti Match, Quick Match, Custom Match and Friend Match, making it easy to find opponents to fight with anywhere, anytime. Players will also have the opportunity to study their opponents by viewing battles in the lobby and trash talk each other via voice chat. The online update also includes two new single-player modes, including Practice mode, where players can hone their fighting skills before battling online, and Survival mode, where players must use their superior TEKKEN skills to defeat as many opponents as possible, one after the other, in a fight to the finish.

TEKKEN 5: Dark Resurrection was released earlier this year for download on the PlayStation Network for the PS3 for $19.99. The game features stunning 1080p graphics and classic TEKKEN gameplay. The online update, TEKKEN 5: Dark Resurrection Online, is now available for the low price of $9.99 in addition to the $19.99 for TEKKEN 5: Dark Resurrection. TEKKEN 5: Dark Resurrection Online may also be bought as part of a $29.98 bundle that includes TEKKEN 5: Dark Resurrection.
