Tekken's Director on the Future of Tag Fighters
In an era where tag fighters are experiencing a resurgence, Tekken's director has dashed hopes for a new installment. "There's just so much more knowledge that's necessary to enjoy the game," he states, highlighting the steep learning curve. While Tekken Tag Tournament had its charm, it also presented an unbalanced mess that casual players found daunting. - The recent success of titles like Dragon Ball FighterZ raises questions about Tekken's absence. The decision to keep tag mechanics as a side mode rather than a standalone title seems wise, given past struggles. Yet, the nostalgia for tag battles remains strong, and many fans still yearn for more. Ultimately, it reflects a broader challenge in the fighting game community: balancing depth with accessibility. For now, Tekken Tag fans may need to wait a little longer for their wish to be fulfilled. The future of the franchise hinges on its ability to adapt to evolving player dynamics. Here's hoping for a revival that captures both hardcore and casual audiences.
