Tekken 8 will be making some changes to its accessibility features after players and specialists raised concerns when playing the demo.

The hype train for Bandai Namco’s Tekken 8 continues to roll on. After the opening movie and live-action trailer, the launch trailer is finally here.

While extensive trailers and character showcases for Tekken 8 have been revealed, Bandai Namco still has a live-action trailer. It sees two professional fighters squaring up before the surrounding crowd – and the rest of the world – decides to join in the huddle. There are even cameos by pro players Arslan Ash and King Jae, along with Hafþór Björnsson (who played The Mountain on Game of Thrones).

January is already half over; can you believe it? But with the passing of days comes the opportunity to get closer to the big game releases of the month! There will be quite a few within a short span, and one of them comes from Bandai Namco! On January 26th, “Fist Meets Fate” as Tekken 8 will be released. The company is definitely banking on the title doing as well sales-wise as the previous entry, if not better. You can see this in the videos they’ve been posting with regular frequency so that gamers know it’s coming and know who they’ll be playing as.

New evidence suggests Bandai Namco and From Software could be preparing to reveal Elden Ring’s long-awaited expansion soon.

Elden Ring fans have grown ravenous for a Shadow of the Erdtree expansion announcement after developer FromSoftware made a change to the game's backend on Steam.

FromSoftware’s been somewhat quiet about Elden Ring’s upcoming paid expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. While it confirmed in December 2023 that it’s still “some ways off,” rumors indicated a potential launch in February. Whatever the case may be, an announcement could be coming sooner than later.

A new Elden Ring update has patched the game's Easy Anti-Cheat to support a recent SteamOS update, as detailed on publisher Bandai Namco's official site. It's good news for people playing the FromSoftware RPG on Steam Decks, especially those haunted by memories of the game's technical tribulations at launch, some of which were caused by the anti-cheat functionality. It's less great news for the millions hankering for the slightest whisper of a breath of new information about Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. But save your pity, above all, for the dozens of videogame news writers - dozens, I tell you! - who must write about Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC at any opportunity, lest the demigods of traffic eat our souls.

Tekken 8’s demo went live on PS5 three weeks ago, before going live on Xbox Series X/S and PC a week later, and it seems it has been well received by those who have played it, to the extent that it’s having a tangible impact on the upcoming fighter’s pre-launch sales.

The Tekken series is known for all kinds of fighters, from devils to cyborgs, so it only makes sense for a bear to practice martial arts.

Anticipation surrounding Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has been sky high pretty much since the day it was announced, though details on the expansion and when it will launch have been scant. Interestingly, however, new developments could be suggesting that its release might be closer than many would have expected.

Yuta Okkotsu and Suguru Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will be playable characters in Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, publisher Bandai Namco and developer Byking announced.

Can you believe it's already been over four hundred years since Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion was announced? And while this year's Game Awards failed to make the interminable wait any easier with a first trailer or some small morsel of news for fans, we might finally have something resembling a potential release window — courtesy of a retailer leak, by way of an official Bandai Namco partner, pointing to a February 2024 launch for the DLC.
