Bandai Namco has introduced that their upcoming fight-’em-up, Tekken 8, will get a demo on December 14 on PS5. If you happen to’re not the PS5 sort, the Xbox and PC demos will arrive on December 21.

Enthusiastic about Tekken 8, however the January 26, 2024 launch date is simply too far-off? Lace up your combating… fists, you’ll be capable of get an early style quickly. How a lot of a style? That’s probably not mentioned. In reality, I gave you just about all of the info we now have within the first paragraph. There’s a demo. It’s out quickly.

Tekken 8 is the primary new recreation within the collection since Tekken 7 launched in arcades in 2015, adopted by a house launch in 2017. Constructed on Unreal Engine 5, it options a formidable forged of 32 characters, most of that are returning favorites, whereas just a few are new characters (or a variation of 1 in Jack-8’s case.)

I’ve at all times performed combating video games, however I’ve by no means actually been a combating gamer. I bear in mind when Tekken was large on the PS1. As a launch title, Tekken Tag Match was elevated to near-mythical standing for some time. I’ve performed them, however by no means to any actually deep extent. I used to be extra caught on Avenue Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Nowadays, I’m primarily holding onto hope that we’ll in the future get a brand new Bloody Roar, however with the state that combating video games are in proper now, it doesn’t appear too pleasant to any collection that isn’t already massively profitable. If it ever was. Plus, it’s now owned by Konami, in order that’s an issue.

Tekken 8 releases on PS5, Xbox Collection X|S, and PC on January 26, 2024. The PS5 demo arrives on December 14, 2023, adopted by PC and Xbox on December 21, 2023.
