TEKKEN 8 Game Play What You All Need To Know About Before Buying
2TEKKEN 8 What You All Need To Know About Before Buying : Fighting game fans have been eating well throughout 2023, and for fans of familial squabbles that can only be solved with a dip in a volcano, Tekken 8 is on the way. The next chapter in Bandai Namco's fighting game franchise is shaping up to be a stylish clash, one that is powered by Unreal Engine 5 and features new aggressive gameplay mechanics to help set it apart from previous entries.
Ahead of its release, we've gathered up everything that we know about the game so far, including which fan-favorite characters are appearing in its roster, when you can try the game out, and how the Heat system shakes up the fisticuffs formula.
Taking place six months after the events of Tekken 7, which saw longtime antagonist Heihachi Mishima finally meet his end at the hands of his son Kazuya, Tekken 8 continues the franchise's tale of terrible parenting. This time, the focus is on Kazuya and his son Jin Kazama, as their fated battle between the two bearers of the Devil gene will finally begin. After being missing in action for several games, Jun Kazama also returns to the fold, sporting a new design from Bayonetta artist Mari Shimazaki.
Tekken 8 roster
So far, Tekken 8 has over 30 playable characters, two of whom have alter-ego forms. The roster is made up of familiar faces like Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, and Leroy Smith, and Jack-7 has been upgraded to Jack-8.

Compared to its rivals Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, Tekken games have emphasized three-dimensional brawling as players position all the space available within an arena. For the sequel, Tekken 8 has a noticeably more aggressive atmosphere, with the new Heat gauge system rewarding players for push-forward action. Every character has a unique fighting style and deep moveset, but it's the Heat system--a replacement for Tekken 7's Rage Drive--that really turns up the… well... heat.
This is essentially a new meter that grants each character new attacks and more tactical opportunities to punish enemies with powerful combos. Heat Burst lets you execute a flashy attack that gives you a window to start a combo, Heat Engagers are more complex, character-specific moves that add two stocks to your Heat gauge, and Heat Dash allows you to quickly close the gap. Lastly, Heat Smash consumes all of your Heat gauge and lets you throw out a powerful move in exchange. When in a Heat State, players can perform chip damage, and the properties of some moves are altered.
Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada also sees this new system as a way to draw in players to experiment with characters that they normally wouldn't use. "Because of the differences in the Heat system for each individual character, [players will] start off with their main, but then they'll see the [command] list and see what makes another character more unique in a Heat state that they'll gradually want to try other characters as well, and we really think it will induce that exploration," Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada said.
Stage destruction is also a big feature in Tekken 8, which won't just be fun to pull off, but also exciting to watch happen, as Bandai Namco has tailored the effect to make it stand out in esports events.
