▍About Tekken 8
Tekken 8 is an upcoming 3D fighting game and a direct sequel to Tekken 7, continuing after that game’s story as Jin Kazama gets ready for the final battle against his father Kazuya Mishima to once and for all end the Mishima bloodline. The game builds on Jin’s relationship with his family, his mother Jun Kazama, and finally comes to terms with his Devil gene power.
Fight against AI or human opponents along a 3D stage in this 4-button fighting game that’s been around since 1994, with several characters and the series’ staple juggling mechanics, and an emphasis on movement.
Tekken 8 features new gameplay mechanics called the Heat mechanic, letting you cancel out of certain attacks or activate them from neutral to power up your character, granting your attacks new properties, new movement options, and the ability to follow up on attacks as combo extensions. The game’s built from the ground up with re-rendered character animations and new voice lines for its characters. The game even brings back an old fighting game staple in special intros depending on the characters that show up to battle!
