Katsuhiro Harada, Tekken’s series director, explained that the age-old tradition of featuring unlockable characters in fighting games is “outdated” and “no longer useful,” Harada also explained that the unlock process was originally intended to increase the longevity of coin-op arcade machines. He confirmed that the new Tekken 6 will be available with all 40 of its characters for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 27th of this year. [VideoGamer]
