The show appears to use quite a bit of 3D animation, between the models and the fighting scenes. Tekken: Bloodline will follow Jin Kazama, who is living with his mother Jun in Yakushima. However, Ogre attacks Jun one day and Jin is unable to protect her. The Devil then possesses a revenge-driven Jin, who then goes to his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima, for training.

Though the show’s plot covers content based on Tekken 3, Leroy appears briefly in the trailer. Leroy debuted in Tekken 7. As there is little available information about the show, it is unknown if Tekken: Bloodline will focus only on the events of 3 or if Leroy’s cameo suggests that it will cover games after that.

The last piece of animated Tekken media to release was Tekken: Blood Vengeance. Blood Vengeance used CGI and took place in an alternate timeline between Tekken 5 and 6. This movie was also in both English and Japanese. It premiered in July 2011.

Tekken: Bloodline will stream worldwide on Netflix some time in 2022.
