Tekken 6 is the latest installment of Namco's Tekken series, which was released to Japanese arcades on November 26, 2007. It is the first game to be released on the PlayStation 3-based System 357 arcade board. At the 2008 Tokyo Game Show, an as-of-yet untitled version of Tekken 6, which will include at least some of the new features of Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, was announced to arrive on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 in Autumn 2009.

Katsuhiro Harada, director of Tekken 6, has stated the game will retain all of the elements from Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection that were well-received by fans. He also said that the stages will be bigger and will have more interactivity and the character customization feature will be more involved with gameplay.

Every frame animation for every character has been changed.
Some stages are multi-tiered (Cemetery, Fallen Colony) with new stage features and daylight/night-time transitions (Temple Grounds) depending on the stage.
The game will have an online versus multiplayer mode.
The customization system from Tekken 5 returns, with improved options and more items. The player is able to switch tops and bottoms between available character costumes, as well as substitute alternate pieces. There are common options shared by many or all characters including various items like glasses, hats, decorative swords and options for 'bare hands' or 'bare feet'. There are also character-specific items and pieces, as well as special items that unlock "item moves" once equipped.
The game adds a new "rage" system, which gives characters more power when their vitality is low. When activated, a red energy field surrounds the character and their health bar starts to flicker red.
The game also introduces "item moves", whereby characters use items to attack the opponent. For example, Bryan Fury uses a shotgun.
The game introduces a new "bounce" system; after moves that knock the opponent down in juggles, the opponent cannot tech roll. A new bound comes into play, extending juggle possibilities.
The game also has an increased health bar compared to the previous games, due to the new features stated above which deplete a lot of health.
