Tekken was a mobile fighting game in the Tekken series developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It was released worldwide for Android and iOS on March 1, 2018.[1] As of February 2019, the game can no longer be played.
Tekken Mobile is a touch based fighting game that incorporates gacha elements. Players select characters to place on a team and face off against a team of opposing characters. The objective is to defeat the opponent by using a collection of "Waza Cards" (a total of nine in one deck), which makes their character use a certain attack depending on the card's color. Each character has an elemental affinity that consists of either earth, fire, water, or lightning. The affinities give either an advantage or disadvantage depending on the matchup.
Players can upgrade their fighters by getting special fragments (common, to rare) which are bought in premium or epic packs using real money.
The game's servers were abruptly switched off on February 15, 2019, making it no longer playable. Possible reasons for the cancellation was the negative reception of the game's expensive prices, and lack of revenue on the game's part. As a result, the upcoming new character named Taekwondo Girl (Fans gave her the name Shuwawei, but is not an official name) did not see a release. The game was running out of users and money and the newest game on playstore the king of fighters allstars wanted some of the characters from tekken 7 so that's why the game shut down.
