Namco Bandai has released a brand new trailer for its upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2 fighting game, showing off not only gameplay, but also the wide array of characters that will be included in the new title.

The Tekken series has been once again in the spotlight of the fighting game genre, thanks to Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken crossover title, but Namco Bandai is keen on releasing a standalone experience based on its franchise.

As such, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is set to appear later this year, offering a sequel to the quite popular Tekken Tag Tournament from many years ago, and adding all sorts of new mechanics and characters.

In order to show off the things included in the game, the Japanese company has revealed a special trailer that focuses not only on characters, but also on gameplay and the teamwork that’s required during the actual tag tournament matches.

Check out the video above and get ready for the release of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 later this year on PS3 and Xbox 360.
