Tekken 8 pushes the envelope for fighting games and takes full advantage of the power of the latest generation of consoles

"Fist Meets Fate” in the dramatic new storyline in Tekken 8.

The Tekken series holds the Guinness World Record for being the longest-running video game storyline, with Tekken 8 continuing the tragic saga of the Mishima and Kazama bloodlines and their world-shaking father-and-son grudge matches. This latest saga begins where the previous title left off, with a world mired deep in the devastating war between Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama. After suffering what seems to be a defeat from Kazuya, Jin faces his own fate. His mother, Jun Kazama, appears after her absence from the Tekken franchise to try and turn the tide in this blood feud.

Tekken 8 will feature exciting new gameplay focused on “Aggressive” tactics. Retaining Tekken’s unique fighting game identity, the game will provide both players and spectators with the series’ most thrilling experience yet with visceral screen-jarring attacks and environments that are both dynamic and destructible.

Tekken 8 has revealed its roadmap for the months to come, which includes battle adjustments, free additions and second DLC character, Lidia Sobieski.

Starting this spring, battle adjustments will be made as the development team continues to work on improving the balance of the game as well as the player experience.

This summer, the first free updates will be out, including the release of a new stage, the Seaside Resort, and introducing the Photo Mode.

In Autumn, a brand-new story, involving Eddy Gordo, will come for free to Tekken 8. Additional modes, such as Ghost vs. Ghost or Online Practice are planned to be added at a later date.

Last but not least, the Prime Minister of Poland, Lidia Sobieski, makes her return in Tekken 8! She will be available this summer with an early access for Character Year 1 Pass owners.

Hot on the heels of EVO Japan, the TEKKEN WORLD TOUR is still underway, as players across the globe compete to earn points and try to clinch a spot for the TEKKEN WORLD TOUR Finals. All details on the TEKKEN WORLD TOUR are available here.

In Tekken 8, all characters’ models have been completely remade from the ground up, making the most of the latest generation of hardware and providing a better experience for players.

Tekken 8 is available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).
