Tekken 6 made the cut onto the World Cyber Games roster for its 2010 tournament series.
The WCG made the announcement Sunday evening. Tekken 6 is the only fighting game on the roster so far. It will be played on the Xbox 360. It will be a 1-on-1 tournament, according to the tournament Web site.

The full list of games announced so far:
- Warcraft 3
- Counter-Strike
- Trackmania Nations Forever
- Carom 3D
- Guitar Hero 5
- Tekken 6
