Hamster Brings 1994 Arcade Tekken to PS5, Xbox Series and Switch 2 on June 25

Summary

  • June 25 will bring the original 1994 arcade Tekken to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch 2 as the latest Arcade Archives 2 release from Hamster.
  • The launch marks Arcade Archives' first Namco System 11 game, a notable shift after seven System 22 releases and a sign more titles such as Tekken 2 or Soul Edge could follow.
  • Arcade Archives 2 adds Time Attack mode and VRR support, but Tekken skips Network Mode and offers only local 2-player play.
  • The arcade version has rarely been reissued in the West—appearing only once in Tekken 5 on PS2—making this a broader modern-console return than past releases.
