In 2021 Red Bull was lucky enough to speak with a handful of pro players about what they would want to see from the next game in the series. Personally, we’d love to see some characters from Darkstalkers, Virtua Fighter and maybe someone like Luke from Street Fighter, who seems to be Capcom’s new poster boy for the series and a good fit for Tekken too. With Tekken 7 we saw the likes of Akuma from Street Fighter, Geese Howard from the King of Fighters, Noctis from Final Fantasy XV and even Negan from The Walking Dead. Likewise, we imagine that the game will also continue to pull from plenty of guests characters in the future too. It’s obviously a system that worked previously and whilst some fans might be keen on a more complete version of the game at launch, it means also that there would likely be far less content to add to the game. We imagine Tekken 8 will launch with a similar number of characters and look to once again release more and more post-launch. It’s worth noting Tekken 7 launched with 36 characters on the roster, with plenty more added as part of post-launch DLC. It’s impossible at this stage to suggest how big the roster could be for Tekken 8, but it seems clear that the seasonal model has worked out pretty well for the game. Whether the game is also available on older platforms like PS4 and Xbox One isn’t clear, but we imagine that given we’re still waiting on the game to be announced, we think it’s plausible that the game skips the old-gen consoles. Regardless, we’d imagine that Tekken 8 will arrive on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and who knows, maybe even the Nintendo Switch. It’s worth noting, that the series only arrived on Xbox with Tekken 6 back in 2009. It felt like for the longest time that Tekken games were exclusive to PlayStation consoles, but in more recent releases we’ve also seen the game arrive on a wider variety of platforms. In fact, given we’re expecting Street Fighter 6 to release in early 2023, we might be waiting until the latter half of 2023 (at the earliest) for Tekken 8. With this in mind, it could be we’re waiting quite some time for Tekken 8. We only asked them to reschedule when it was really important.” When Ono gave us the date for an important Street Fighter announcement, we often rescheduled our own announcement to not overlap,” continued Harada. It’s not like we arrange dates or anything.” We try not to release at the same time of the same year. “It’s not like we arrange dates or anything. “We try not to release at the same time of the same year. “We’re always careful not to overlap release dates,” said Harada. More specifically, Harada seemed to suggest that both Bandai Namco and Capcom would try to avoid overlapping any of their reveals or releases. Both guests attempted to get Harada to give any info on the next Tekken project.Īs you might imagine, Harada didn’t willingly hand over any concrete info, however, there was one interesting tidbit picked up by EventHubs. However, we do have some clues which help provide some context for when the next game could arrive.Ī recent episode of Harada’s Bar – a talk show hosted by Katsuhiro Harada, the producer of Tekken – included guest appearances from pro Street Fighter 5 player Rohto|Tokido and Virtua Fighter Producer Seiji Aoki. But then again, it seems fairly likely that a new Tekken would be coming eventually, so we’re more inclined to believe its inclusion wasn’t without merit.Īt the time of writing Bandai Namco is still yet to reveal Tekken 8 or a release date for the game. Since the leak contains some ‘speculative’ titles it’s impossible to say with any certainty that the new Tekken game on the list is genuine or a fabrication. No confidential game builds or personal information were exposed.” NVIDIA took immediate action to remove access to the list. Inclusion on the list is neither confirmation nor an announcement of any game. “NVIDIA is aware of an unauthorized published game list, with both released and/or speculative titles, used only for internal tracking and testing. Speaking to WCCFTech at the time, NVIDIA issued the following statement: This included several unnamed and unannounced games, including “Tekken 8”. Tekken 8 Leaksīack in September 2021 fans saw a well-publicised NVIDIA GeForce Now database leak which more or less allowed users to have access to NVIDIA’s internal database of upcoming releases. What are the chances they now follow this up with the announcement for Tekken 8? One can only hope (and dream). Just a few short days after the announcement of a new Tekken World Tour tournament series for 2022, game director Katsuhiro Harada has announced that Tekken 7 has now passed 9 million total sales since its launch back in 2015.
