TEKKEN as a series of 3D fighting games dates back to 1994, first as an arcade game then to home consoles. The games have been supported for more than 25 years by a wide demographic of players, with core players comprised of males in their late teens to 40s. The series has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the “Longest-running 3D fighting videogame franchise” (21 years and 179 days), and the “Longest-running videogame storyline” (20 years and 99 days). The series has also made its way across many mediums as an IP such as in a full-length CG movie, in pachinko and pachislot machines, among others.

TEKKEN is also an active promoter of esports, with tournaments from 2015 offering prizes for top placers. TEKKEN 7 became the official title for the TEKKEN World Tour from 2017, with the series often taking center stage in world-class fighting game events.

The series is committed to building and supporting game communities worldwide, with official TEKKEN 7 tournaments held periodically in Japan from May 2018, and community-based tournaments adopted into the official world tournament schedule from 2019. Indeed, 95% of sales of TEKKEN 7 has been from overseas, breaking down to 4% in Japan, approximately 6% in Asia, approximately 30% in North America and LATAM, and approximately 60% in EU and Australia.
