Kicking off the recent State of Play was Bandai Namco, with the news that Tekken 8 is coming to PlayStation 5, also added afterwards were Xbox Series X|S and PC. Check out the reveal trailer for the game below.

The game picks up after the gruesome battle that ended in Heihachi Mishima’s defeat, focusing on a new rivalry, pitting father against son as Jin Kazama stands in defiance against Kazuya Mishima’s quest for world dominance.

“We are very excited to show the next generation of TEKKEN”, said Katsuhiro Harada, Chief Producer at Bandai Namco Studios. “The team at Bandai Namco Studios has been hard at work to bring groundbreaking new features to TEKKEN 8, pushing the feeling of power in battles continuously further by harnessing the power of the latest generation of consoles. We can’t wait to show you more in the months to come!”

“For more than 25 years now, TEKKEN has meant so much in terms of innovation and uniqueness for the fighting genre. TEKKEN 8 marks the true continuation of this innovation trend, and we are happy to finally be able to announce it,” says Arnaud Muller, Bandai Namco Europe S.A.S CEO. “We are looking forward to showing the exciting features, characters and stories that this episode will bring to continue pushing the fighting game genre forward”

Right now, there is no release date for the game, not even a year, so a mid-2023 would be the earliest we could see this one, but I wouldn’t expect it until later in the year at least.
