When Bandai Namco showed the first in-engine trailer for Tekken 8 in 2022, many fans got excited. I was one of them. Even today, that trailer looks amazing. Sadly, the final game was severely downgraded. But there is some good news. A modder is working on a mod that aims to make Tekken 8 look and feel more like it did in that 2022 trailer.
For those who did not know, Tekken 8 does not support Lumen or Virtual Shadow Maps. However, there was a mod that could enable Lumen. But that was an experimental mod, and a lot of stages looked really bad with it.
We then got a mod that enabled some hidden graphical features, like GTAO, Full Screen SSR, and Shadow Denoiser. With this mod, the game can look crisper and a bit more detailed. However, it could not come close to that 2022 trailer.
NVIDIA users can use DLSS 5 to make the game look like that 2022 trailer. But this is only possible if you own an NVIDIA RTX GPU. AMD owners cannot experience this kind of graphics. Until now.
The Fallen Destiny Mod will change the graphics and the camera so that it can make the game look and feel like its 2022 trailer. It also removes some effects that annoyed a lot of players.
The mod is now in Early Access. For now, only Patreon members of ‘The 9001 Club’ can download it. But the first public release is very close. In just 15 days, everyone will be able to download and use it.
Below, you can watch two trailers. The first one compares the mod with the game’s standard PC Ultra settings. This will give you a good idea of what the mod aims to do. The second trailer shows the latest Early Access version.
As a big Tekken 8 fan, I cannot wait to try this mod. However, I do not recommend using it in Ranked Mode. You may be able to use it in all online modes, but you could get flagged or banned. It may also make ranked matches harder to play. So, I suggest using it only in Offline Mode or Quick Matches.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
