Bandai Namco makes the next-gen Tekken official Bandai Namco and the Tekken team made Tekken 8 official on Tuesday, showing first footage of the next-gen fighting game.
Despite being announced during a PlayStation livestream Tekken 8 is not a PS5 exclusive; the fighting game is also coming to Windows PC and Xbox Series X. Bandai Namco first teased Tekken 8 at this year’s Evo fighting game championship series.
According to Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada, Tekken 8 was “taken directly from a certain part in the current work-in-progress Tekken 8’s story mode, played on PlayStation 5.”
The first trailer for Tekken 8 debuted during Sony’s State of Play showcase and showed Tekken mainstays Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima duking it out, in classic Tekken fashion, but in higher fidelity than ever before.
