Tekken 6 screenshots released!

Naturally this month, the emphasis in the world of beat ‘em ups is going to be on the sublime Street Fighter IV. And truthfully, we wouldn’t have it any other way, for reasons we’ve outlined in our review here.

However, let’s not forget too that there’s the small matter of the now Atari-published Tekken 6 on the horizon. Tekken, for the duration of its console lifespan a child solely of the PlayStation platform, will be coming to the Xbox 360 too with the latest game in the series, Tekken 6. And while we’re not expecting it until the Autumn of 2009 at the earliest, the publicity machine for the game has life in it already, with the release of a whole host of fresh screenshots.

So feast your eyes on this gallery of the latest shots from the game, enjoy Street Fighter IV, and let’s hope that Tekken 6 can capture the highs of one of console gaming’s finest fighting franchises…
