Tekken 5: New character art

Namco unveil three more fighters to whoop ass in their next Tekken fight-fest.

Three old campaigners return to do battle once again in Tekken 5 and Namco have released artwork showing off their new (ish) look. The character art is from the forthcoming arcade version, which is out towards the end of the year in Japan. The PS2-exclusive port is scheduled for a 2005 release.

Craig Marduk is the most recent Tekken addition of the three, having first featured in Tekken 4, and his story is simply that he has the hump with King, who slapped him silly in the last Tekken tournament. Seasoned fighter Julia Chang still flies her tribal colours and enters the tourney to retrieve research data concerning a lost forest. Finally, we get to see Jack-5. Gunjack's have been present since the original Tekken and this incarnation is entered into Namco's fight club, by its creator June, simply to test its power.
