Tekken 8 (Japanese: 鉄拳8) is a fighting video game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Arika and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game was released for the PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on January 26, 2024. It is the eighth canon release and tenth overall entry in the Tekken series. The game's story mode, titled The Dark Awakens, takes place six months after the events of its predecessor and focuses on the final confrontation between the main characters, father Kazuya Mishima and son Jin Kazama, with the latter wishing to kill the former in order to end the chaos within their family lineage. The game's story features 32 former and new characters, each with their own narrative that contributes to the overall story.
Development of Tekken 8 was first teased in August 2022 at Evo 2022, with an official presentation made the following month at Sony's State of Play event. Focusing on more aggressive tones, Tekken 8 was developed using Unreal Engine 5, and it features upgraded fighting elements and systems from its predecessor. Tekken 8 also introduces brand-new mechanics, such as the "Heat" system and "Tornado" hits. Arcade Quest was another addition to their online mode, which includes tournaments, arcade features, customisable avatars, and specialized currency that is featured throughout the game.
Game tests were held in July and October 2023 to ensure overall stability before release, and a demo was made available on consoles in December of that year. The game's first season pass, which included downloadable content and new characters, was made available during the game's pre-order period. Upon its release, Tekken 8 received critical acclaim, with many critics praising the game's overall progression in the series as well as its aggressive gameplay.
