While Netflix did not reveal the staff for the series, Neflix's listing of the series outside of the United States features the genre tags "US TV Shows" and "Anime Series." Netflix has used those same tags previously on shows such as DOTA: Dragon's Blood, Blood of Zeus, and Castlevania.

Netflix describes the series, which seems to roughly adapt the story of Tekken 3, as follows:

According to Tekken chief producer Katsuhiro Harada, the series will feature parts of the original games' story that were only previously written in words, such as Jin's life with his mother Jun.

Tekken 3 launched for arcades in 1996 and then for PlayStation in 1998.

The latest game in the Tekken fighting game franchise, Tekken 7, launched for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam in June 2017.
