The third installment of the cult series of three-dimensional fights. The action of Tekken 3 takes place a dozen or so years after its predecessor, which served as a pretext for exchanging a large part of playable characters. The production introduced a lot of changes to the gameplay mechanisms, putting a bigger aspect on rolling fights in full three-dimensional and limiting the height of jumps.

Tekken 3 is the next installment of the iconic series of 3D fighting games created by Namco (now known as Bandai Namco). The game was released in 1998 on PS1 and quite significantly developed the gameplay mechanisms of its predecessor, also making significant changes in the list of playable characters.

Plot

Tekken 3 takes place several years after the tournament from the previous title. The Tekken Force, a paramilitary organization created by Heihachi Mishima, accidentally awakens the ancient martial arts god, Ogre. He kills the troop and sets off into the world, hunting for the great masters of martial arts.

One of his victims is Jun Kazama, who raised her son Jin alone - the boy is Kazuya Mishima's son. Jin goes to his grandfather Heihachi to ask him for teachings. The old Mishima decides to use the young man to lure Ogre, whom he would like to capture and use for his purposes. After several years of training, Mishima announces another Iron Fist Tournament, hoping that the god of fighting will not miss such an opportunity.
