Bandai Namco launched Tekken 8 in 2022. It’s the sequel to Tekken 7’s The Mishima Saga, when Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima have their final fight. It’s the true climax of the Tekken story and the final chapter of The Mishima Saga.
Tekken 8 is launched in Japan in 2021. Then in 11 May 2021, “Tekken 8:Judgement Justice” adds prequel characters.
Bandai Namco Studios has been silent on Tekken 8’s release date for years. Could 2022 be the year Tekken 8, the successor to Tekken 7, launches? Here’s how.
“Tekken” is a fighting game staple. We’ve all played the 90s beat-em-up game. Tekken 7 premiered March 18, 2015.
Where Can I Play Tekken 8
Tekken 8 will be on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows PC, and Arcade. It’s not on PS4 or Xbox One. Not yet.
Tekken 8 will be available for last-gen consoles if it’s launched between 2022 and 2023. Global supply chain difficulties and chip shortages are to blame.
Tekken 8 On PS5?
According to rumours, Tekken 8 will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive. However, gamers still can’t get PS5 globally.
Tekken 8 will feature a PS4 version if it’s released soon, not just PS5.
Is It Available On Switch?
Tekken 8 will be on Switch. Tekken would be a great addition to Nintendo Switch, but this is merely an anticipation.
Characters, Story, and Gameplay
Bandai Namco is developing Tekken 8. It’ll continue Tekken 7’s Mishima Saga. Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima have the last showdown. The next Tekken game may conclude its story.
Tekken 8 hasn’t been released in almost seven years. If you’re curious, we’ll explain. Tekken 8 will also be discussed.
Release Date For Tekken 8
Tekken 8 has trended for years. Bandai Namco Studios hasn’t announced Tekken 8’s release date. Tekken 8 was released in Japan on February 10, 2021 for arcades, according to a fan wiki.
On May 11, 2021, “Tekken 8: Judgement Justice” was updated with more characters from older games. Tekken 8’s global release hasn’t been updated.
Tekken 8 could be released on December 1, 2022, according to the same website. TheTealMango.com claims Tekken 8 won’t be released until 2023.
Where is Tekken 8
Bandai Namco develops Tekken games slowly. Tekken 7’s development spanned six years. Every Tekken game (excluding spin-offs) has a same development timeline. However, Tekken 8’s release date remains unknown after seven years.
The developer may require extra time to perfect the next Tekken game. The next Tekken game should include several new features.
Before announcing a new game, the developer must add or change mechanics. They’ll need a good tale and interesting characters. All of this takes time, thus Tekken 8 may not be out yet.
In Tekken 7, you can only trigger fury when your health is low, and you can’t return it using rage art or rage drive. Tekken 8’s fury fills when you deal and take enough damage. Full fury bars allow rage art. Each character has 2 anger arts in Tekken 8.
Game Modes For Tekken 8
Tekken 8 game types could include:
Story Mode focuses on what happens after Kazuya overcomes Akuma. This mode has 20 chapters against Tekken 7’s 14.
Arcade Mode has 9 stages and 6 difficulty levels. Choose one to three rounds. In the first five stages, you’ll face 5 random opponents; in the sixth, a huge Mokujin. You’ll fight Kazuya, Angel, and Haijio Kaijio in stages 7 to 9.
In Survival Mode, you must fight as many opponents as possible with your remaining health. Each opponent gives Tekken Gold.
Tag Team Mode is like Arcade mode but has just five stages and 2 vs 2 battles.
Tekken Bowl: Similar to Tekken 7’s, but with customised balls and pins. 2-4 players can play online. Story Mode unlocks it.
Tekken 8’s game modes will be detailed soon.
