Attention millennial video gamers — Your favorite fight game is getting a Netflix anime series: Tekken: Bloodline — based on Bandai Namco’s successful fighting game franchise — is coming to Netflix later this year. The premise is effectively the retelling of Tekken 3 in anime form. For those too young or too old to have owned a PS1: Jin Kazama wants revenge for his mother’s death at the hands of a demon so he seeks out his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima, to teach him to fight. Fans of the video game know that Heihachi is one of the game’s hardcore characters, being the leader of a private military contractor known as the Mishima Zaibatsu. His quest for revenge will eventually lead him to the King of Iron Fist Tournament, where he’ll meet a number of characters from the game including the jaguar-masked King, Paul Phoenix, DLC fighter and Jin’s father Kazuya Mishima.

We haven’t kept our disdain for Netflix’s cookie cutter adaptations a secret…except when it comes to their anime adaptations of video games, with Netflix having previously successfully brought to life League of Legends, Castlevania, and The Witcher. And as fans of the game, we cannot wait for this. You can check out the trailer here (watch, runtime: 01:39).

Redesigning Work looks at what’s next for the office: London Business School Professor Lynda Gratton is considered a global thought-leader on the future of work, having introduced the idea of remote work years before the pandemic. In her new book, Redesigning Work, she argues that organizations usually “freeze” or keep their culture, structure and practices fairly fixed, writes the Financial Times. However, the pandemic led the world to “unfreeze” and look at new working techniques and create a corporate culture from afar. Before the world “refreezes” it’s important to capitalize on the lessons learned from a more fluid state to create a better working model going forward. However, that doesn’t always mean a hybrid or remote system, with Gratton posing in the book a process to set a new working model that suits your company.
