Harada confirms Tekken Revolution will be receiving free Training Mode

Tekken Revolution, Namco Bandai's latest free-to-play Tekken title, was officially released last week during E3 2013. This PlayStation 3 exclusive allows players to jump online, free of charge, and battle it out in classic 1v1 Tekken style.

Although Tekken Revolution has been well received, players have pointed out the game's lack of a training feature. Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada addressed these concerns this morning and confirmed that Tekken Revolution will indeed be receiving a free training mode.

We will add free training mode. RT@mashthrow I can't get new players to try TR. They want to learn but can't with the limit on play.

— Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) June 19, 2013

Currently, there is no information on when we may be seeing this training mode added to Tekken Revolution but we will update the story as details unfold.
