Does Tekken 8 Rating Mean Release Date Imminent?
11.08.2023 - 20:17 / gameranx.com
The gaming community is already known to be an impatient lot, but it doesn’t help that developers sometimes tease games for a long period without a clue as to when they will come out. For example, Tekken 8 has been doing tests and trailer releases for new/returning characters. Still, Bandai Namco refuses to give a release date or even a window for a potential release. However, eagle-eyed fans have noted that a rating for the game from Korea could be a sign that this may change soon. After all, you can’t rate a game that isn’t near completion, right?
The rating in question was posted on ResetEra, and it notes that the rating came from South Korea, which rated Tekken 8 for ages 15+. That’s fair, given the game’s sometimes dark storyline and intense fighting. However, what many on the forum site focused on was how the rating came out at all and thus could hint that Bandai Namco might be on the verge of getting a release date.
However, as the person who posted the rating revealed, just because it’s out doesn’t mean the game will come soon. They gave an example of how Street Fighter 6 got its Korean rating back in November 2022, but the title didn’t arrive until June 2023. That’s quite a gap between rating and release.
That doesn’t mean you should give up hope; however, it just means that we have to think of things along those lines. For example, if the Capcom title came out about six months after its Korean rating, we can apply that to Bandai Namco’s game. That means, should the pattern hold, we could get the game sometime in January or February, maybe March at the latest. The wait would still be long, but as recent events have shown us, the last thing gamers need is another rushed-to-launch title.
Bandai Namco has been working hard to make its upcoming game special. They did a closed network test recently and then made it clear that anyone playing the “cracked” version of the title might face severe consequences for doing so.
More recently, at EVO 2023, they revealed two characters for the roster, including a fan-favorite and the “Peruvian Coffee Queen.” More reveals like this can be expected in the upcoming months.
The big question for the game is how grand they’ll go with the story. It’s only Jim and Kazuya left in the Mishima Clan, but with Jun now returning, things are going to get complicated.

Tekken 8 Adds New Single Player Mode, Avatar Creation, and Confirms a Bunch of Returning Characters | Push Square
Tekken 8 got a bit of an information blowout during Gamescom Opening Night Live. The title's latest trailer confirms a whole bunch of returning characters, and lifts the curtain on a brand new single player mode that takes inspiration from the arcade scene. In it, you'll create your own cartoony avatar and fight your way to the top. It all takes place in a hub-like arcade centre, and AI learning will apparently be utilised to keep your battles interesting. Cool!

Dark and Darker makes a deal with PUBG publisher Krafton for a mobile release
The sleeper hit PvP dungeon crawler Dark and Darker is still booted off Steam, and the legal dispute between developer Ironmace and Nexon means there's no telling when—or even if—it will come back. So I was a little surprised to hear that plans are now afoot for a mobile version of the game, being developed by none other than PUBG: Battlegrounds publisher Krafton.

Tekken 8 comes out next January with a very literal Arcade Mode
This year is shaping up to have a killer line-up of fighting games between the launches of Mortal Kombat 1 and Street Fighter 6, but unfortunately, Tekken 8 won’t be completing the holy trinity as it just got a new release date: January 26th 2024. Not too far away from 2023’s punch-a-thon, though, and to tide us over, publisher Bandai Namco dropped a brand new trailer at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live. Bears, arcades, and lots of kicking down below.

Tekken 8 Release Date Reveal Could Be Closer Than You Think | Push Square
At this point, a release date is really all that Tekken 8 is missing. While it's widely believed that the PS5 fighting game will launch in 2024 — preferably before Evo 2024, which takes place at the end of July — Bandai Namco hasn't been dropping any hints. What's more, the current Tekken World Tour — based around the aged Tekken 7 — is ongoing, and is set to end with a finals event in January.
