In the last year, fans of the fighting genre have been spoiled rotten with three of the best games that the genre has to offer in recent memory, the latter beingTekken 8.
Check out the Tekken 8 trailer below!
In myreview ofTekken 8, I said: “Tekken 8is the most satisfying and fun 3D fighting game that I’ve played in years. Aside from its five to six-hour ‘The Dark Awakens’ campaign, there’s so much more fun to be had with the latest entry in the iconic arcade series from Bandai Namco whether it’s fine-tuning your skills locally against AI or friends, or daring to take on other players worldwide.”

Those who own theTekken 8season pass, can look forward to a batch of new playable characters as well as other additional bonuses. However, regardless of whether you have or haven’t purchased the season pass, owners ofTekken 8can look forward to a new and free upcoming story campaign, in addition to the two story campaigns already included in the base game.

There was an assumption that each of the DLC characters would have their own story mode, but Tekken director and producer, Katsuhiro Harada corrected a recent tweet from BuffGigas. Instead, it seems that there will be a free story mode, but it will feature all DLC characters, rather than being individual. What’s more, this free story mode will allow all owners ofTekken 8to try the DLC characters which will include the likes of Eddy Gordo, as well as three others yet to be announced.
The free story mode will be released sometime after May this year and will add further lore to the main campaign ‘The Dark Awakens’. In the tweet that Harada corrected, there was also a mention of a photo mode and other features being on the way. Harada did not correct anything else other than the free story campaign, so we can assume that the rest of the information is true.
Tekken 8is out now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
