Back during this year’s hectic April Fool’s Day, Bandai Namco dropped a video featuring popular Tekken characters joining the world of Galaga to participate in some vertical shooting instead of the fisticuffs they are known for. While many likely wrote that off as a clever joke, it appears as if the mashup is indeed real and will be arriving on mobile devices incredibly soon as a way of celebrating the fighting franchise’s twentieth anniversary.
Famitsu reports that the developers are planning to release Galaga Tekken sometime tomorrow, April 30, at the completely reasonable price of free. As the new screenshots below highlight, players will be able to control characters like Heihachi, Lili, and Asuka as they blast fellow cast members from the sky. Though the sprites are a little hard to make out, the game also appears to feature cameos from King, Alisa, Panda, and newcomer Lucky Chloe.
Galaga Tekken will be released for both iOS and Android devices, though its availability outside of Japan is still up in the air.
