And it’s official. The next Tekken game will be called Tekken 8 and below you can find its first in-engine trailer. This video showcases Jin Kazama fighting Kazuya Mishima. And while the game is still in development, Tekken 8 looks amazing (it also looks and plays like a Tekken game which is a good thing for all Tekken fans). Enjoy!

Damn, this actually looks like a proper current generation title. Good thing it’s only announced for the current gen machines (series x/s, ps5, PC) because the last gen devices are getting really long in the tooth. I’m sure developers are happy to leave those behind too. Imagine the headache of having to develop for seven different machines (in addition to PC development).
“..(it also looks and plays like a Tekken game which is a good thing for all Tekken fans)..”
Tekken has only been a lunar gravity, bound-based, beach-ball puncher, since around 6, when Harada went full moron with the franchise. It’s not for “all Tekken fans”, by any degree whatsoever.
It baffles me how anyone can stand to watch or play a game, that basically comes down to landing 2 bounds, to knock the beach ball into the air, and then punching and kicking what is supposed to be a 200lb+ person’s body, across the screen, to end the match.
I guess some people really can be entertained by watching paint dry.
lol that’s a pretty good description of Tekken’s combat. It would be nice if they would tone down the ludicrous juggling system. Air launchers and some degree of juggling is ok, but what’s in Tekken is kind of off putting since they are going for a more realistic aesthetic. They can still have long combo chains performed on the ground or some combination of air and ground, no need for that bouncy beach ball type gameplay.
“They can still have long combo chains performed on the ground or some combination of air and ground, no need for that bouncy beach ball type gameplay.”
My position precisely. Combos are great. Slapping a body through the air like it is weightless, is just…… ya.
Looks good.
Dayuohohohohaamm!!! This Looks So Good.
Thanks God it’s next gen only title!
Looks fvcking amazing, dude! That first counter was superb.
