We knew that tekken 8 would be present at the gamescom 2023allowing players present to try it out at the stand of bandai namco. Inevitably, the publisher will not lose the opportunity to distribute a brand new trailer during theOpening Night Live by Geoff Keighley, as confirmed by the latter and Katsuhiro Harada. In the latest news, if you haven’t followed everything, the handsome Italian Claudio Serafinothe ninja raven and the new coffee addict Azucena have been confirmed at roster. Will the cast grow again tonight? Good question, but in the meantime, it’s a big leak that interests us.
The future trailer of the game will be an opportunity to reveal the long-awaited release date of the game! It is Lumia Updates who spotted it the easiest way, by checking the game’s page on the Microsoft Storewhich is definitely customary for leaks… Obviously, the error was quickly repaired, but too late. Tekken 8 will therefore not face Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1 or Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising this year, since it will be released on Friday January 26, 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series X | S and PC.
With a little luck we will also discover the different editions that will be available at launch and why not one or more fighters more tonight live. We will update the article with the latest info.
Update : the trailer that aired last night didn’t just confirm the release date. Indeed, we learn that THE roster base at launch will consist of 32 fighters ! In addition to the 18 already known before that, these are therefore Yoshimitsu, Steve Fox, Sergey Dragunov, Leo Kliesen, Shaheen And Kuma. There are therefore eight more to discover in the coming months.
In terms of storyline, tekken 8 will be the beginning of a new saga centered on Jinbut in addition to the classic scenario, a single-player mode ArcadeQuest will also be included, revealed for the occasion. We will create an avatar there far from the photo-realistic visuals of our warriors to go to arcades to play tekken… all with a little story serving as a pretext to develop our skills as a player. Too bad not to have rather opted for what did SF6. The customization of the fighters has also been illustrated and you can find many visuals on the next page.
As for the editions, here they are, with an inevitable pass that will add other playable characters after launch.
