Guide Tekken 7 - Basics for Beginners and How to Get Started
Attacking, defending, movement, and Rage
Ah, fighting games. Sometimes the mere mention of the genre is enough to disinterest more casual onlookers, but Tekken has always been quite an accessible series. It's easy to pick up and play, but takes a long, long time to truly master. Button mashing is absolutely an option when it comes to Tekken, but if...

News Tekken 8 Reveals Its Baki the Grappler Crossover, Roger Jr Out 17th November
Smile like you mean it
Tekken 8 is always a little bit crazy and chaotic, but I think this latest EVO France trailer takes the cake. It focuses on Roger Jr, who’s joining the roster next month, from 12th November in early access and 17th November for everyone else. The trailer shows off the boxing kangaroo’s eclectic moveset, which revolves...
News Bob Is Back and Bigger Than Ever in Tekken 8 on PS5
Here's your first taste
Bandai Namco has released the first gameplay footage of Tekken 8 returnee Bob, who’s “bigger than ever” according to his garish tracksuit. The blonde haired beefcake was first introduced in Tekken 6, and returns here with a clutch of cheeseburgers and some onigiri in hand. I’d never considered those two as a...

Check out the teaser trailer below: "Your favorite #TEKKEN characters are coming out of the ring and into the cartoon world," reads the brief description for the trailer. "Keep an eye on our...
News Tekken Is Coming to PS5 Tomorrow with New Modes, Settings, and Rewind
An Arcade Archives revival
The original Tekken is being brought to PS5 on the 25th June, but this isn't a case of Bandai Namco allowing the game to be emulated through Sony's PS1 classics initiative, like it did with Tekken 2 and Tekken 3. Instead, it's being revived by specialist retro developer Hamster, as part of its Arcade Archives series. As...
News Tekken 8 Really Is Getting Back on Track After a Truly Terrible Start to the Year
Patch 3.01 is another win
Patch 3.01 for Tekken 8 has arrived alongside returning DLC character Kunimitsu — and it's actually turning out to be another significant win for Bandai Namco and the Tekken team. Just in case you haven't been keeping up, Tekken 8 was in a terrible state just several months ago. The big Season 3 update dropped in March,...
News Tekken 8 Grabs One of the Craziest Guest Characters Yet
Baki attack
The final character for Season 3 of Tekken 8 has been revealed, and I certainly never saw it coming. Arriving in early 2027, Yujiro Hanma is Tekken's latest guest fighter. He's from Baki the Grappler, a frankly insane martial arts manga and anime series. The latter's been running since 1991. Yujiro is protagonist Baki's father, and is...
News Tekken 8 Brings Back Kunimitsu on PS5 with a Fiery Twist
With mysterious fourth character still to be revealed
Masked thief beauty Kunimitsu will make her grand return to Tekken 8 from 27th May for Season 3 Character Pass owners. A la carte players will be able to purchase the Manji Ninja specialist from 1st June. Long-time fans will know that this version of Kunimitsu is actually the original game’s...
News Tekken 8's Turning Point Arrives Out of Nowhere, Devs Finally Listen with Patch 3.00.02
No longer Tekken the p*ss
Well, we didn't see this one coming. When Bandai Namco confirmed that Tekken 8 would be getting a mid-April patch, there were zero expectations — most players just assumed that it would include minor tweaks since it hasn't been billed as a key update. But as it turns out, patch 3.00.02 — the first patch since the big...
News Tekken 8 Dev Responds to Disastrous Season 3 Backlash, Confirms New Update Schedule
Tekken it back
Following on from what can only be described as a disastrous launch, Bandai Namco has opened up on Season 3 of Tekken 8, acknowledging that the update has fallen short. "We recognize that the battle experience we intended to deliver has not fully met your expectations," the developer writes in a new blog post. "Moving forward, we...
News Tekken 8 Season 3 Backlash Somehow Even Worse Than Season 2, Game Gets Review Bombed
'Tis the season
If you thought the player response to Tekken 8 Season 2 was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. Nah, to be fair, the overwhelmingly negative response to Season 3 — which launched just days ago — is pretty much a continuation of the chaos that Season 2 caused. You may recall that many players — particularly those in hardcore...
News Further Frustration as PS Plus' Latest Retro Game Arrives without PS5, PS4 Trophies
Tekken the p*ss
Tekken: Dark Resurrection, the excellent PSP port of Tekken 5, is available for all PS Plus Premium members to download today. But like all of Bandai Namco’s emulated ports, it’s arrived without Trophies. Sony’s policy for these retro releases is to relax its requirements, so trinkets are not mandated like in most other...
News Tekken 8 Season 3 Gameplay Balance Goes 'Back to Basics' as Kunimitsu, Bob, and Roger Return
A "fresh start" for the fighter
Season 3 for Tekken 8 has been officially announced, and Bandai Namco wants it to be a "fresh start" for the fighter. As you may already know, the game's big Season 2 update — which launched in the spring of last year — made controversial changes to the game's balance, buffing systems and mechanics that some...
News The Future of Tekken 8 Teased as World Tour Finals Get Underway
Finally, Season 3
It's a pivotal weekend for Tekken 8, as the Tekken World Tour 2025 Global Finals get underway. The tournament, which sees qualified players from all over the world compete for the tour's biggest prize, is just about to get started over in Malmö, Sweden (the initial group stage kicks off in about half an hour from the posting of...
News Tekken Mega Music Mix Dropped by Series Boss Harada, and It's 30 Years of Pure Nostalgia
Enter... the Tekken
Alongside the announcement that he's leaving Bandai Namco, legendary Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada has dropped a treat for fans in the form of a 60-minute music mix. The track, which at the time of writing is only available on SoundCloud, basically covers 30 years of Tekken history, mashing countless pieces of music together...
News Tekken Director Katsuhiro Harada Announces Departure After 30 Years at Bandai Namco
K.O.
Katsuhiro Harada, director and producer of the Tekken series, has announced he'll soon leave Bandai Namco. The news comes as the fighting game franchise reaches its 30th anniversary. Harada has worked on every game in the series, with his career almost entirely focused on it over three decades. "I felt this was the most fitting moment to...
"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 Disappointment As Tekken 3 Is the Latest PS1 Classic to Launch without Trophies
As expected, unfortunately
For whatever reason, Bandai Namco does not want Sony to add Trophies to its emulated PS1 games. While most of the platform holder’s own classic games have been updated to add in gongs – either at launch or later – Bandai Namco’s selection of re-releases remain Trophy-less. And unfortunately, the highly...
News Yes, Licensed Manga Hero Gon Is Still Included in Tekken 3 on PS5, PS4
We were worried he may be Gon for good
Tekken 3 rarely gets re-released, with some speculating it may be due to its inclusion of licensed manga character Gon. To be fair, the legendary fighter did feature on Sony’s ill-fated PS Classic micro-console (albeit the PAL version), and publisher Bandai Namco was releasing licensed Gon tie-ins as...
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...
News Tekken 8 Newcomer Miary Zo Bursts into the King of Iron Fist Tournament This December
Madagascan energy
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...
