|Yes<ref name="tekken">Although Tekken games are 2D fighters and would not normally be listed here, these specific titles have a mode called Tekken Force (Tekken 4), Devil Within (Tekken 5) or Campaign Mode (Tekken 6) where combat takes place in a free-roaming 3D environment. These are all broadly referred to as Tekken Force mode. Tekken Force mode debuted in Tekken 3 but in that game it was presented as a sidescrolling beat-'em-up rather than true 3D free-roam. Tekken 8 only has a brief free-roam mode in the campaign's Chapter 10.</ref>
