WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS GAME ?

Tekken 8 (鉄拳8, Tekken Eito) is a fighting video game developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the eighth main installment in the Tekken series and was released on January 26, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.

Released on January 26, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows, Tekken 8 continues the tragic saga of the Mishima family and the ongoing conflict between Jin Kazama and his father Kazuya Mishima, all presented through a cinematic storyline powered by Unreal Engine 5.

The gameplay of Tekken 8 focuses on aggressiveness and introduces a new system called “Heat”, while retaining the Rage Arts first introduced in Tekken 7. This system encourages players to adopt an offensive playstyle, rewarding attacks over defensive “turtle” strategies, which significantly changes the dynamics of e-sports matches.

A teaser for a new main entry in the series was shown during the Tekken 7 tournament at EVO 2022, before being officially announced on September 13, 2022, during Sony’s State of Play presentation. The game was confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows via Steam. Continuing the story from the seventh main installment, Tekken 8 focuses on concluding the long-standing feud between Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama. The game also marks the return of Jun Kazama, Jin’s mother, who was presumed dead since the events of Tekken 3. Her character design was created by Mari Shimazaki, best known for her work on Bayonetta. The second trailer also revealed the return of Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, King, and Lars Alexandersson, as well as the debut of Jack-8.

Six months after Heihachi Mishima’s defeat, Jin Kazama, aided by Lars Alexandersson and Lee Chaolan of the rebel force Yggdrasil, sets a trap for his father Kazuya Mishima over Manhattan. The plan fails when Kazuya unleashes his demonic power, killing millions. Haunted by memories of his mother’s death, Jin loses control of his own Devil Gene. Kazuya declares a new King of Iron Fist Tournament, inviting the world’s strongest fighters.

Still injured, Jin tries to join the tournament despite warnings from Alisa Bosconovitch. During the qualifiers, he meets Reina, whose fighting style resembles Heihachi’s. Jin defeats her and Hwoarang, showing glimpses of his demonic side. Reina then offers to help him face Kazuya. Meanwhile in Rome, Claudio Serafino, Zafina, and Ling Xiaoyu watch the events unfold. Zafina explains that the demon Azazel’s spirit is trapped in her arm and that only Jin can stop Kazuya, whose greed is reviving Azazel’s power. Leo Kliesen and his father reveal that Azazel created the Devil Gene long ago, passing it through the Hachijo Clan, from which Kazumi Mishima descends.

As the main tournament begins, Lars allies with Victor Chevalier of the UN to capture Kazuya, unaware that Claudio’s team plans to infiltrate as well. Jin defeats Leroy Smith, who helps him overcome his inner conflict. However, Kazuya reveals that the tournament was a trap to gather rage and resurrect Azazel. Absorbing Azazel’s essence, Kazuya becomes True Devil. Reina sacrifices herself to stall him while Claudio performs an exorcism, injuring Kazuya but failing to destroy him.

Seeking balance, Jin retreats to Yakushima, his childhood home, guided by Xiaoyu, Lili, and Asuka. Kazuya’s forces attack, leading to a massive battle between Yggdrasil, the UN, and G Corporation. During the chaos, Reina awakens her own Devil Gene. In the final battle, Jin masters his powers, transforming into an angelic form. He defeats Kazuya in a climactic fight that ends their demonic lineage, restoring peace to Earth. In the aftermath, survivors rebuild, and a hidden scene reveals Reina, Heihachi’s secret daughter, mastering her Devil Gene.
