Pokken Tournament New Character: What You Need to Know 'Pokken tournament new character'

If you're a fan of Pokémon fighting games, then get ready for some exciting news! Bandai Namco has recently announced that they will be adding a brand-new character to their popular title, Pokkén Tournament. This announcement comes as no surprise given the game's massive success since its release on the Wii U and subsequent re-release on Nintendo Switch.

For those who may not know much about Pokémon fighting games or even the series itself, let us give you a quick rundown: in these types of titles, players can choose from various beloved Pokémon characters (including some rare ones) to engage in epic battles against their opponents. The gameplay typically involves button-mashing combos and special moves, similar to other popular fighters like Street Fighter IV.

Now back on topic – what does this new character mean for existing Pokkén Tournament fans? Well, according to the game's director Katsuhiro Harada during a recent interview with Famitsu magazine (via Kotaku), it seems that Bandai Namica wasn't directly involved in developing any of these additional characters. Instead, they were simply given access to certain assets by Nintendo due to their successful collaboration on Pokémon: Let's Go games.

In other words, if you're hoping for new fighters straight from the latest mainline Pokémon titles or even some fresh faces not seen before outside of spin-offs like Pokémon Sun & Moon, then unfortunately that might not be happening anytime soon. However, fans can still look forward to seeing more classic characters make their way into the game as potential DLC releases down the line.

As always though – only time will tell!
