Tekken Tag Tournament 2’s accidental “Allah” reference to be removed

A reference to “Allah” has been spotted in Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and Namco Bandai has plans to remove it.
The game’s “Saudi Arabia” stage contains a floor texture with a pattern of repeating stars. Collectively, they contain the Arabic script for “Allah”.
This was not at all intentional, but it could upset some Muslim gamers. Namco Bandai will fortunately be updating the stage in the near future so that the stage can be modified.
When informed of the script’s meaning, producer Katsuhiro Harada wrote on Twitter:
“We didn’t know that. We will change stage design data as soon as possible. We couldn’t read that.”
