At the time of writing, there is no confirmed Tekken 8 release date. During The Game Awards, a new trailer revealed several story beats and hinted at some of the returning characters. However, it looks like we’ll be waiting a while for news on the release date. Series creator Katsuhiro Harada confirmed that the game is being built from scratch in Unreal Engine 5.
The first Tekken 8 trailer features the series’ two lead characters, Jin Kazama and his father, Kazuya Mishima, clashing in the middle of a barren, stormy wasteland. The two trade blows back and forth before Jin lands a finishing blow on Kazuya using the power that his devil gene provides him.
One exciting feature of the trailer is the disclaimer at the start of the trailer seems to suggest that the footage is real-time, in-engine footage, which, if true, means that we can expect the final game to have similarly stunning graphics.
