Tekken 6 announced for Xbox 360

Microsoft has announced that Tekken 6 will launch simultaneously on Xbox 360 as well as PlayStation 3.

Speaking during the company's ongoing Tokyo Game Show keynote, Live and services boss John Schappert said the game would be out on 360 "at launch", which will be autumn 2009.

Tekken 6 - previously announced for PS3 only - will build on the success of Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, the second of which picked up 8/10 on Eurogamer, and includes online play, a new rage system and other tweaks.

The beat-'em-up also boasts over 40 characters in the arcade, which we'd expect to be reflected in the 360 and PS3 releases.
