Last night during the State of Play organised by Sony, one of the key announcements was undoubtedly that of Tekken 8, the new chapter of the hugely popular fighting game developed by Bandai Namco Studios.
TEKKEN 8 will bring combat to the next gen, using the Unreal Engine 5, but it will not be exclusively available on PlayStation 5: the title will also arrive on Xbox Series X|S and PC. TEKKEN 8 picks up after the brutal battle that ended with Heihachi Mishima’s defeat, focusing on a new rivalry centered on father versus son, with Jin Kazama opposing Kazuya Mishima’s attempt to dominate the world.
