Over the weekend, Superbot Entertainment attended the Las Vegas annual Evolution Championship Series where they took the opportunity to announce two new challengers in PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale!

Hailing from the ever-popular Tekken series, the original mastermind behind Mishima Zaibatsu joins the battle!  Making his first appearance on PSX in 1995, Heihachi Mishima is one of only five characters to appear in every iteration of Tekken thereafter, brawling his way through 17 years of King of Iron fist tournaments. Heihachi fans will feel right at home with this newest interpretation.

Familiar moves such as his Electric Wind God Fist and Twin Pistons are intact and as deadly as ever. He excels at close-range combat, overwhelming opponents with quick, powerful strikes. Heihachi’s combo potential ranks among the best in the roster, turning every encounter into a stylish martial arts exhibition. Though the battlefield has changed, Heihachi brings his signature fighting style and brutal attacks to PlayStation All-Stars!

Toro Inoue, also known as the Sony Cat, has been a faithful mascot to Sony Japan for over a decade!  He has made appearances in numerous video games spanning several different Sony consoles and is a welcome addition to our roster.  Though appearing to be simply a cute feline, the warrior within proves to be as formidable as the next.

Toro brings a unique stance-based fighting style to PlayStation All-Stars, affording him several different sets of attacks to utilise in combat. He transitions seamlessly from a close-range fighter in his Justice form, to a ranged specialist in his Torobi form, to an effective wide-area controller in his Oni form.  All the while, Toro’s fun-loving charm comes through in every action he performs.

PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale is confirmed to launch in stores across Australia on 25th October 2012.
