Review Tekken 8 (PS5) - Next-Gen Tekken Is a Modern Fighting Game Masterclass
Heat haze hype
Tekken 8 has been a long time coming. Its predecessor, the unprecedentedly popular Tekken 7, launched what feels like an age ago; the original arcade release happened all the way back in 2015, before a much-updated version came to consoles in 2017. However, its shockingly long life cycle — perpetuated by an incredibly strong...

Tekken 8 News
"That's something I'm interested in"
Capcom recently prompted a backlash from fighting game fans when it revealed plans to place its official Street Fighter 6 finals behind a paywall — but fresh comments from Tekken boss Katsuhiro Harada perhaps shed a little light on why the publisher's going down that road. The answer is money, obviously, but...
News Armor King Has Arrived in Tekken 8, But Patch 2.06 Can't Stop Concerns Over Game's Future
Armor through it
It's a day of celebration for many a Tekken player, as one of the series' most popular characters — the awesome looking Armor King — has arrived as the latest DLC fighter in Tekken 8. In some ways, Armor King's highly anticipated return is the shot in the arm that Bandai Namco's brawler has been begging for. You may recall that...

Bandai Namco has released the first full-length gameplay trailer for Madagascan newcomer Miary Zo in Tekken 8, who will launch first for Season 2 Character Pass owners on 1st December. Everyone else will get access to the character from 4th December. As seems fitting for someone from Madagascar, a lot of Miary’s moves are...
News Tekken 8 Patch 2.05 Finally Fixes 'Identical Chest Parameters' for Female Characters
It's for the breast
The latest patch for Tekken 8 is here, and despite featuring just a handful of balance adjustments — most of which address buggy interactions anyway — it's still a very important update. Well, depending on who you ask... Indeed, version 2.05 deals with a heinous issue of female characters sharing the same body model. Or more...
News Tekken Boss Wanted 'Muscular' Pac-Man as a Character, But the Idea Was Brutally Shot Down
It was deemed "reckless"
Tekken series boss Katsuhiro Harada has shared some cracking stories over the years, but this latest one has truly tickled us. It involves a "muscular" version of Pac-Man being a playable fighter in the original Tekken, which sounds like one hell of a gimmick. In a new interview with Japanese outlet 4Gamer (as translated...
Return of the King
Armor King has been fully revealed for Tekken 8, and he looks fantastic. Bandai Namco has really doubled down on the brutality of his moves — especially his wrestling grapples and throws. Even his combos have been given a bone-breaking makeover. He's almost guaranteed to be a hit amongst players when he launches on the 17th...

A huge year for fighting games
Evo 2025 is just around the corner, and the world's biggest annual fighting game event promises to be a true spectacle for a number of key reasons this year. We don't want to jump the gun and say that the fighting game scene is at a crossroads, but Evo is always a great barometer for how "healthy" the current crop of...
News Tekken 8 Fans in Tears of Laughter Over Low Effort Atelier Yumia Collab
Thunder only happens when it's Reina
Tekken 8’s been going through a tough time of late, but fans can’t help but laugh at the game’s collaboration with Koei Tecmo counterpart Atelier Yumia. While developer Gust has done an incredible job creating a Reina-themed outfit for the protagonist of its recently released RPG, the Tekken team has...
News Tekken 8 Pushes the Armor King Panic Button Amid Brutal Fan Backlash
If in doubt
Tekken 8 players are really not happy with the release’s roadmap right now, with upcoming addition Fahkumram arguably one of the worst received DLC characters of all time. It’s perhaps no surprise that Bandai Namco has pushed the Armor King panic button early then, announcing that the popular fighter will join the roster later this...
News Tekken 8 PS5 Fans Miffed by Latest Content Roadmap
A wild Fahkumram appears
Tekken 8 has been having a bit of a rough ride of late, with Bandai Namco forced to release an “emergency” patch for the fighter after its Season 2 update basically ruined the outing. All eyes were on EVO Japan, then, for some kind of roadmap that reinvigorated interest in the 3D fighter. Unfortunately, looking at the...

Hands On Final Fantasy 16's Clive Is Ridiculously Well Realised in Tekken 8
The only fantasy here is yours
Clive Rosfield, of Final Fantasy 16 fame, is the first guest character in Tekken 8 — and the final part of the game's first season pass. Armed with his trusty blade and a slew of Eikon-based superpowers, Clive would feel far more at home in SoulCalibur than Tekken. But much like Noctis in Tekken 7 — also a DLC...
Preview Tekken 8 Could Be One of the Best Tekken Games Ever
Serious Heat
We were lucky enough to spend close to an entire day with Tekken 8 at a recent Bandai Namco press event — and we walked away from the experience thoroughly impressed. We've had high hopes for the long-running series' latest instalment for quite some time — especially since we're such big fans of Tekken 7 — but going hands-on with...
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...
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...
