About Tekken
Tekken tells one continuous Mishima family saga across its numbered games, so release order and story order are the same list. The Tag Tournament games sit outside canon, which is why they are marked as spin-offs below rather than given their own order.
Good to know
Tekken 8 Season 3 adds Kunimitsu in late spring 2026, Bob in summer 2026, Roger Jr. in fall 2026, and a fourth fighter in early 2027.
