Tekken 8 release date has yet to be revealed, but here’s some details on when we can expect the next entry into the long-running fighting game series.
There’s plenty still to be revealed about the Tekken 8 release date, given that Bandai Namco has yet to confirm so much as a release window for the upcoming fighting game.
The launch of Tekken 8 has been anticipated since it’s well-received announcement last year (opens in new tab), and while there’s still a lot we don’t know, there’s still been a significant amount of information to pull from the trailers and gameplay we have seen.
Will Tekken 8 launch in 2023? It’s uncertain, especially given that both Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 will launch this year. From the looks of things the next couple of years could offer up some new contenders for the best fighting games around.
Despite the evident excitement of eager players, Bandai Namco has been pretty reserved in the promotional content they’ve put out regarding the release. That said, there’s still a good chunk of information to dissect from gameplay trailers and the roster itself, and we’ve pulled together everything there is to know so far about the release of Tekken 8. Tekken 8: Cut to the chase
What is it? The eighth mainline Tekken game and the 10th overall in the series
When can I play it? The release date is yet to be confirmed.
What can I play it on? PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. Tekken 8: Release date and platforms
Tekken 8 is yet to receive a concrete release date. Currently, the only information we have received regarding the game is a few characters available in the base roster, an insight into the new arenas we’ll be fighting in, a few windows into new and returning gameplay mechanics, and the platforms of which the game will be available.
Tekken 8 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. In addition to this, it has been confirmed that Tekken 8 will be entirely cross-platform so regardless of which console you and your friends are playing on, you’ll be able to battle it out in the ring.
With the emphasis the game has on competition and the inspiration it’s derived from community-led events such as the Tekken World Tour and EVO, the online side of competitive play is expected to support players better than before. That’s because Tekken 8 will also feature rollback netcode, a huge improvement over Tekken 7’s online that should lead to vastly more stable connections when playing online. Tekken 8: Trailers
The most recent Tekken 8 trailer was uploaded in February, and showcased a variety of characters, including the anticipated return of Jun Kazama, alongside a few new locations you can expect to brawl within.
