Tekken 8

Tekken 8 is a fighting game released on January 26, 2024 for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. It is developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Arika and is the eighth classic work in the “Tekken” series. The story, titled “Dark Awakening,” takes place six months after the previous game and focuses on the final conflict between Mishima Kazuya and his son Kazama Jin. The game introduces 32 characters, each of whom contributes to the storyline.

Tekken 8 was announced at Evo 2022 in August 2022 and officially unveiled at the Sony State of Play event in September. It was developed using Unreal Engine 5. It incorporates new elements such as the “Heat” system and the “Tornado” popular elements. Online mode features Arcade Quest, including tournaments, avatars, and special in-game currency. The game was tested for stability and demoed in December 2023.

The Season 1 Pass, which includes downloadable content and characters, is available during pre-order. Upon release, Tekken 8 was critically acclaimed for its series progression and aggressive gameplay, with some calling it the best game since Tekken 3.

Tekken 8 gameplay

“Tekken 8” retains the familiar fighting game style of its predecessors. Producer Katsuhiro Harada emphasized a more aggressive gameplay, introducing a “heat” system. In “Heat” mode, characters deal fragmented damage, gain additional actions, and change some action attributes to encourage proactive play. The timer stops with strategic actions. Defending against a critical hit or hot status character will cause chip damage, but unlike previous games, recoverable health can only be restored by attacking the opponent.

The game brings a technical update that changes the “Rage” system to “Thermal Crush”. The “screw” mechanism was replaced by a “tornado” extender, creating a ground-bound condition. Certain stages present hazards, such as breakable walls and floors, and explosive interactions that launch damaged opponents.

Tekken plot

Six months after Mishima’s death, Kim, Lars and Lee ambushed Kazuya in New York. Jin lost control of the demon during the battle. Kazuya announces a new King of Iron Fist tournament, threatening to destroy the failed nation.

Elsewhere, Zafina warns Claudio about Kazuya. Leo learned about Azazel and the demon gene from his father. At the Rome tournament, Lars seeks the support of the United Nations, and Claudio, Zafina and Xiaoyu infiltrate. Kazuya manipulates events to resurrect Azazel and become a true demon.
