Tekken: Bloodline has not confirmed its exact release date yet, but we know the anime will tell the story of Jin Kazama. Fans will follow the young man as he trains under his brutal grandfather Heihachi Mishima. We do know the series is slated to drop in 2022, but it could be some months before Netflix is ready to debut this series. So until then, you can check out its synopsis below to tide over your craving for more Tekken content:

“‘Power is everything.’ Jin Kazama learned the family self-defense arts, Kazama-Style Traditional Martial Arts, from his mother at an early age. Even so, he was powerless when a monstrous evil suddenly appeared, destroying everything dear to him, changing his life forever. Angry at himself for being unable to stop it, Jin vowed revenge and sought absolute power to exact it. His quest will lead to the ultimate battle on a global stage – The King of Iron Fist Tournament.”
