Katsuhiro Harada Reveals Some New Tekken 8 Details

Following the release of the latest Tekken 8 gameplay trailer at The Game Awards, Bandai Namco revealed some of the details during a keynote by producer Katsuhiro Harada. Jun Kazama, last seen in the non-canonical Tekken Tag Tournament 2, has returned. As it turned out, she was not dead, but only disappeared until now. Character illustrator Mari Shimazaki, best known for her work on Soulcalibur 5 and Tekken 7, has designed Jun's new outfit.


The destruction of the battle scene is still an "important element", but now they will be destroyed not only visually. Rage Arts also returns. For those who are worried about Paul's hairstyle, there is an option to change it to classic tassel hair. Sideway movement is the same. As for the new Heat System, some thought that only certain movements could trigger it. However, there are other ways, which will be described in detail later.


The Tekken World Tour 2022 Global Finals will take place in Amsterdam on February 4-5, 2023, and unfortunately, the developer will not announce a release date for the game. However, the team will prepare "something special" and hope fans will look forward to it.


Tekken 8 will release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, with Bandai Namco suggesting a launch in fiscal 2023. This means that the game will release between April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024.
