News The Tekken 8 Closed Beta Test Is Now Live on PS5
Get ready for the next battle
The anticipated Closed Beta Test — CBT for short — for Tekken 8 is now live on PS5. As the 'Closed' part of the name suggests, you're only getting into this one if you registered for a code — and then actually got chosen as a participant. Or, if you were already part of the Closed Network Test earlier in the year,...
News Tekken 8's Single-Player Arcade Quest Looks Weird and Wonderful in 16 Mins of Gameplay
Get ready for the next battle
New gameplay footage of Tekken 8's 'Arcade Quest' mode has surfaced courtesy of IGN. The single-player mode will see your custom character rise through the ranks of competitive Tekken, as you battle across a world map made up of arcades and esports events. It's a pretty cool premise that's clearly a nod to the more...
News Tekken 8 Was Originally Due Out Day and Date with Street Fighter 6
Postponed to avoid a clash
It's a great time for fighting games, with the excellent Street Fighter 6 and the solid Mortal Kombat 1 launching this year. Of course, Tekken 8 is only a couple of months away too, and that appears to be shaping up very nicely indeed. Interestingly, Katsuhiro Harada, aka the face of Tekken, recently noted the game was due...
News Tekken 8's Upcoming Beta Will Boast Impressive AI Ghost Battles
Last chance to sign up
Set to begin on the 20th October, the closed beta test for Tekken 8 will be used to showcase the game's unique 'Super Ghost Battle' mode. First explained during a Tokyo Game Show presentation last month, these AI-based fights sound pretty cool, as player data is used to create incredibly accurate 'ghosts' that anyone can fight...
News Huge Tekken 8 Showcase Has Story Mode Gameplay, Full Matches, and Much More
New training options are crazy
Bandai Namco hosted a huge Tekken 8 presentation at Tokyo Game Show, which basically gives us an overview of the entire game. It features gameplay footage from the story mode — which sees Jin and Kazuya duke it out over the fate of the world — full-blown matches from the latest build, and information on loads of...
Preview Bandai Namco Is a Publisher Quietly on the Up
More like Funco, eh?
No one really talks about Bandai Namco, but the publisher’s doing a bang-up job. Last year it released Elden Ring, which not only proved a critical darling but also a break-out commercial hit. The action RPG ended up becoming a cultural touchstone for 2022, and it helped underline a really impressive run for the Pac-Man maker...
News Tekken 8 Details Huge Closed Beta Gameplay Changes as Panda Is Confirmed for Full Release
Everything got touched
Bandai Namco has spilled loads of details on the upcoming Closed Beta Test for Tekken 8. If you happened to be a part of the previous Closed Network Test, then you'll be especially interested in knowing that sweeping gameplay adjustments have been implemented. This includes rather significant tweaks to how the new Heat system...
News It's Happening: Legendary Tekken Ball Mode Returns in Tekken 8
Ballin'
If you were one of the millions of Tekken 3 players back in the 90s, then you'll probably have fond memories of Tekken Ball — a mode that saw two characters use their regular moves smack a beach ball at one another in the hopes of scoring a KO. A truly beloved activity, but one that would never return in any future Tekken title (aside from...
News Tekken 8 Brings Feng Wei Back in Brutal Style as Closed Beta Is Confirmed for October
Yes Wei
Feng Wei will return in Tekken 8, and he somehow looks even more brutal. The power-mad martial artist comes equipped with his typically tricky lows, cheeky parries, and bone-crunching strikes. Widely considered to be one of the strongest characters in Tekken 7, it'll be interesting to see how he shakes out in the sequel. And that brings us...
News All-Important Jukebox Mode Returns in Tekken 8 with Tracks from Every Previous Game
Tekken it higher
Tekken 8 just got a release date and confirmed a bunch of returning characters, but nobody in their right mind really cares about that stuff. The real news is that Tekken 8 will bring back the all-important Jukebox Mode (thanks,

Preview Tekken 8's Hyper Aggressive Gameplay Has Glorious Potential
Feeling the Heat
We only got to play it for a weekend, but the Tekken 8 Closed Network Test has us drooling over the potential of Bandai Namco's heavy hitting fighter. This sequel has been a long time coming — it's easy to forget that Tekken 7, although still quite popular, is over six years old on PS4 — and at first glance, the eighth...
