| Tekken: Bloodline Anime Opens in August Posted: 20 Jul 2022 09:00 AM PDT
Tekken: Bloodline, Netflix's animated take on the hit fighting game series, opens on August 18, 2022. That's the reveal from the show's latest trailer, uploaded to Netflix's official YouTube channel. Check it out below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6-donCAnCc Tekken: Bloodline appears to function as an origin story of sorts for Jin Kazama, son of Tekken icon Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazama. Jin first appeared in Tekken 3 and quickly took his place as one of the main characters of the series alongside his father and Heihachi Mishima, his grandfather. The Tekken: Bloodline trailer shows a Jin haunted by the loss of his mother to Ogre. He approaches Heihachi to learn Mishima-style karate. He meets characters like Paul Phoenix, Nina Williams, King, and other Tekken alumni. The trailer even sets up a battle between Jin and Leroy Smith, who first appeared in Tekken 7. This encounter would mark the first chronological point in which Leroy appears in the Tekken storyline. When Tekken: Bloodline appears on Netflix, it'll have a full English dub option available. This is something of a departure from the way Tekken has handled voice acting. As far back as 2001's Tekken 4, Tekken titles have generally opted against dubbing every character into a single language. Instead, many characters (though not all), speak their native language in cutscenes. The script simply treats everyone as being able to understand each other perfectly. For example, in Tekken 7, Heihachi speaks Japanese, while Nina, his employee, speaks English. Meanwhile, exorcist Claudio Serafino speaks his native Italian. This treatment seems unique to the mainline games, though. Spin-offs like the Tekken: Blood Vengeance and Tekken: The Motion Picture animated films or Tekken pachislot titles use single-language voice tracks. Tekken: Bloodline premieres on Netflix on August 18, 2022. Tekken 7 is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The post Tekken: Bloodline Anime Opens in August appeared first on Siliconera. |
| The Great Ace Attorney Perfumes Will Appear in Japan Posted: 20 Jul 2022 08:00 AM PDT
Capcom will release new eau de toilette perfumes designed after characters from The Great Ace Attorney in Japan. The new perfumes will be available for sale physically at Capcom Stores in Tokyo and Osaka on July 22, 2022. Each perfume will be contained in a 10ml bottle and have a different set of ingredients inspired by the character it represents.
Capcom will split the perfumes into two separate sets consisting of Ryunosuke and Kazuma, and Herlock and Barok. Each set will be available for 4,620 yen (~$33.50). The company also put the items up on Parco Online Store, but online stocks for both sets sold out just a few hours after going on sale. Capcom has previously released perfumes inspired by characters from the modern-era Ace Attorney series. It also split the items into a Defense Attorney Set featuring Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice, and a Prosecutor Set comprised of Miles Edgeworth, Klavier Gavin, and Godot. The Great Ace Attorney series consists of two games originally released for Nintendo 3DS in Japan. Capcom released The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles worldwide on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC in July 2021. Sales for the new compilation have surpassed 500,000 copies as of April 2022.

| Kotobukiya Unveils Genshin Impact Traveler Figures Posted: 20 Jul 2022 07:00 AM PDT
Kotobukiya will be selling figures of the male and female Traveler from Genshin Impact. While pre-orders are not yet open, the company announced that the figures will be available for pre-order in the "near future." The figures are 1/7 scale. Kotobukiya has not announced an official price for either figure. The 1/7 scale figures recreate both versions of the Traveler protagonist character from Genshin Impact. Aether, the male version, and Lumine, the female version, are twin siblings that travel the universe. At the beginning of the game, players are required to choose one of the characters as the protagonist. Notably, the figures are based on each character's character card design. Aether, with his arm outstretched, wields his sword and wears a flowing cape. Lumine wields the same sword and wears her white dress. Both figures feature intricate details, such as Aether's earrings, Lumine's floral hairpins, and various metal buckles and accessories. Furthermore, each figure comes with its own stand resembling the terrain of the game's starting area, with a wooden signpost, fences, and grass. You can get a better look at each Genshin Impact Traveler figure in the screenshots below: [gallery ids="932418,932419,932420" link="file"] Previously, Kotobukiya unveiled a similar figure of Barbara from Genshin Impact. Her figure is also 1/7 scale, and costs ¥19,580 (about $141). While Kotobukiya has not announced an official price for the Lumine and Aether figures, you can expect the figures to run for around the same price. The Genshin Impact Traveler figures are currently in development. There is no confirmed pre-order open date or price.

| First Images of Yakuza 8 Teased in Office Tour Video Posted: 20 Jul 2022 04:00 AM PDT
The first in-development images of Yakuza 8 appeared in a recent office tour video, confirming the return of a few key characters. The video appeared on the YouTube channel of Japanese YouTuber and celebrity Mikuru Asakura, who visited the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio offices in order to discuss a cameo in the upcoming game. Additionally, the video showed how the company performed motion capture for its games. [Thanks, Famitsu!] The video starts with Asakura meeting with the CEO of Sega Sammy Holdings, Haruki Satomi. After discussing whether Asakura would be interested in appearing as a cameo character, Yakuza 8 producer Masayoshi Yokoyama gave him a tour of the studio's offices. Notably, the office tour offered fans a glimpse at the studio's development process, from character modeling to motion capture. Towards the beginning of the tour, we can see several developers working on environments, character animations, and event scenes. One event scene featured Yakuza: Like a Dragon protagonists Ichiban Kasuga, Koichi Adachi, and Yu Nanba. Yokoyama added that footage of the event scene had never been released to the public before. Interestingly, Kasuga appears to have a new hairstyle and is only wearing a tanktop. You can check out the Yakuza 8 images in the video below (images appear around the 9:58 mark): https://youtu.be/5BZpiZ3HrCA RGG Studio confirmed the development of a Yakuza: Like a Dragon sequel back in October 2021. In an interview, Yokoyama revealed that the sequel would take place several years after the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon. News of the sequel's development came after the departure of Yakuza series producer and studio head Toshihiro Nagoshi. Yakuza 8 is in development. There is currently no confirmed release date or platform. The post First Images of Yakuza 8 Teased in Office Tour Video appeared first on Siliconera. |
