Namco Bandai Games announced today that they will be releasing Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online, an online update to the now available downloadable fighting game, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection at the PlayStation Store, exclusively for the PlayStation 3. The new downloadable add-on will have Tekken fans thanking the fighting game gods as this marks the first time in the popular fighting franchise’s history that Tekken will be playable online. The new highly anticipated online feature will include ranked matches, custom battles, and online tournaments where Tekken fans will finally be able to show off their fighting skills to have it out with other fans, outside of their own living rooms.
Updates to the new Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online will include 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 while waiting for their turn to conquer 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.
