Chipotle has teamed up with Bandai Namco Entertainment American Inc. to launch the new TEKKEN 8 Battle Bowl.
Created to celebrate the latest release in the iconic fighting game series, the new TEKKEN 8 Battle Bowl is a bowl fit for the hungriest of gamers. The new burrito bowl consists of chicken, white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa, roasted chili-corn salsa, fajita vegetables, cheese, and guacamole. However, the catch is that this will be a digital exclusive menu item with some special rewards attached. With each order of the bowl, TEKKEN 8 players will have the chance to earn in-game currency. All they need to do is use the promo code 'EWGF623' when ordering through Chipotle's mobile app or website. For every eligible purchase made, customers will be given a code redeemable for 500 TEKKEN COINS.
