From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekken_8):
Tekken 8 (Japanese: ιζ³8) is a fighting video game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Arika and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game was released for the PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on January 26, 2024. It is the eighth canon release and tenth overall entry in the Tekken series. The game's story mode, titled The Dark Awakens, takes place six months after the events of its predecessor and focuses on the final confrontation between the main characters, father Kazuya Mishima and son Jin Kazama, with the latter wishing to kill the former in order to end the chaos within their family lineage. The game's story features 32 former and new characters, each with their own narrative that contributes to the overall story.
Development of Tekken 8 was first teased in August 2022 at Evo 2022, with an official presentation made the following month at Sony's State of Play event. Focusing on more aggressive tones, Tekken 8 was developed using Unreal Engine 5, and it features upgraded fighting elements and systems from its predecessor. Tekken 8 also introduces brand-new mechanics, such as the "Heat" system and "Tornado" hits. Arcade Quest was another addition to their online mode, which includes tournaments, arcade features, customisable avatars, and specialized currency that is featured throughout the game.
Game tests were held in July and October 2023 to ensure overall stability before release, and a demo was made available on consoles in December of that year. The game's first season pass, which included downloadable content and new characters, was made available during the game's pre-order period. Upon its release, Tekken 8 received critical acclaim, with many critics praising the game's overall progression in the series as well as its aggressive gameplay.
Tekken 8 received "universal acclaim" from critics for the PC and PS5 versions, while the Xbox Series X/S version received "generally favorable reviews", according to review aggregator website Metacritic.[37][38][39] Several publications argued that Tekken 8 was the best offering from the parent franchise. GamesRadar+ rated it five stars, stating that "proves that plenty of depth makes for a vibrant fighter, justifying its current-gen exclusivity to deliver a skull-thrasher that really feels like an evolution rather than a simple update."[44] Hardcore Gamer praised the game as "bold" and highlighted Bandai Namco's sense of innovation, describing it as "one of the greatest fighting games of all time."[46] Shacknews compared the game to its previous entries and concluded: "Tekken 8 is it, and looks set to carry that torch for years to come."[53] Video Games Chronicle opined that Tekken 8 is "up there with Tekken 3 as one of the most exciting high points in the series."[56] PC Gamer vows the game to seamlessly combine nostalgia-inducing moments into an exceptionally approachable and beginner-friendly package.[57]
Critics praised the game's improved visuals and overall progression from previous installments. Eurogamer Germany wrote, "It looks great after the graphical redesign and is packed with game variants and training options as well as clever ideas."[41] Despite praising the graphics, GamePro Germany felt that the game lacked options for "single-player fans."[58] Despite minor "tweaks" in customization, IGN felt that "Tekken 8 manages to stand out as something special."[47] Jeuxvideo.com compared the game favorably to other entries in the fighting game genre, saying "Its new features in terms of gameplay are enough to stand out from previous opuses and hold its own against its competitors".[48] NME praised its visuals and cinematography, writing, "Tekken 8 has lots to offer both new and veteran players. The cinematic, over-the-top storyline is gorgeous and ends in a thematically brilliant fight".[49]
Tekken 8 topped the charts in the UK upon its initial release, outperforming the 2023 release of Street Fighter 6.[66] Sales were reportedly double of the latter.[67] Bandai Namco generated over $13 million in the game's first 10 days on sale on Steam.[68] On February 26, Bandai Namco announced that the game has sold over two million copies in the first month after launch.[69]
