Tekken 8 was officially announced in September 2022 during a PlayStation State of Play livestream.

While a release date hasn’t been confirmed, the game is planned for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam.

Bandai Namco recently streamed a 36-minute breakdown of the fighting sequel’s gameplay mechanics, including its heat system, rage system, and recovery gauge.

It plans to hold closed alpha tests for Tekken 8 across multiple locations globally to gather feedback on the new systems.

The first closed alpha test was held at Evo Japan, which ran from March 31 to April 2. To participate, players needed to apply via a special website.

Tekken 8 will feature cross-play, series director Katsuhiro Harada confirmed earlier this month.

Tekken 7 was released for arcades in 2015 before making it way to PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam in June 2017.

Last December, Harada said Tekken 7 had topped 10 million sales, taking lifetime franchise sales to over 54 million units.
