Tekken 4 Japanese release date shifts

GameSpot has learned that Namco will release Tekken 4 for the PlayStation 2 on March 28 in Japan, which is a little over a week later than its original release date of March 20. Tekken 4 is the latest game in the long-running Tekken series and features a number of changes from previous games in the series such as enclosed arenas. The PlayStation 2 version of the game will also include a Tekken Force: Assault mode that lets players take any one of the Tekken characters through a series of beat-'em-up stages.

Namco has not cited any specific reason for the change in release dates. A North American release date has yet to be announced.
