The release of Tekken 8 is a nostalgic hit. I recall spending hours of gameplay as a kid after being absolutely blown away by the game when it first launched on PlayStation all those years ago. It delivered insane excitement and was the envy of my brother, and even now, we often reminisce about how he cheated when he could never beat me. As the reigning champ in the family, I naturally had to test my skills with the new Tekken 8.

In the Tekken universe, it is six months after the events of Tekken 7. Although there is zero context if you haven’t played the previous games, it does add some value to knowing what has happened leading up to the events in Tekken 8. We are taken through story mode from the point of view of Jin Kazama, our titular protagonist. Kazuya Mashima shows up immediately, and we are thrust into gameplay almost immediately. Both of them take their alternate ‘devil form’, and the battle ensues.
As we are going through the gameplay – in tournament-style battles – we are introduced to a new character, Reina, whose origins are unknown, as are her motivations. During the tournament, Jin notices Reina’s fighting style, the Mashima style. This initially piques your interest more so than Jin’s story. It is a journey of discovery for Jin, going back to his origins, with some familiar faces along the way.

Kuzuya takes on Azazel at the Iron Fist tournament and absorbs his powers, making him more powerful. This gives the other fighters pause as Kazuya is given a new, more sinister form. Making light work of the characters left behind, Jin fixes his new problem as he is the only hope for defeating Kazuya/Azazel’s new devil form.
As the story continues, we end up on a battlefield for some reason. This is where the dialogue takes a nosedive. This isn’t the worst thing, but it does make you cringe at times. The battle mode gives you the opportunity to fight with different characters, thus really putting your skills to the test. Unfortunately, there isn’t much of a test to speak of here, as opponents are quite easily defeated.
There is also a minor glitch while you are on the battlefield. The NPCs can often become transparent. This does confuse you a little as you try to engage your next opponent to move on to the next, only for them to disappear and leave you reeling for a few seconds before being prompted to continue. This, then, leads you towards the end scenes, where you are surrounded by soldiers at this point. As the trope goes, the battle is won by the “good guys”. However, we are left on a bit of a cliffhanger with one of the characters, which seems like a set-up for the next Tekken

Tekken 8's upcoming Tekken Shop will include both paid and free content, Bandai Namco has confirmed, with the premium stuff using a currency called (creatively) Tekken Coins. The Tekken Shop will be refreshed monthly, and the developer insists the move is more about keeping the competitive fighter fresh with customisation items than for grubby monetary reasons. Still, there's no reason why it can't be both.
Rumors about a remake have existed for a while, but do those still hold water in 2024? First released in 2010 (2011 in the United States), were the flagship games of Gen 5. Featuring the New York-based Unova region, new ways to bond and battle, and 156 new Pokémon — at the time, the most ever introduced in a single generation — was a huge hit, a generational game-changer. It was later followed by a pair of sequels, and .

A little over a month after its release, Tekken 8 now has an in-game shop where players can spend real-world money to buy cosmetics for their characters. Dubbed the Tekken Shop, the shop is kicking things off with Uniqlo-branded gear, along with other cosmetics like classic costumes and avatar skins.
There are many “plights” in the video game industry that are affecting the various businesses that inhabit it. Just this week alone, two major publishers announced that they were laying off a combined 1500 people, and more are likely to come in March. Another issue is the cost of games and the amount of cash just being thrown at them in an attempt to be good and sell well. That’s one of the reasons for the layoffs, in fact. The other side effect of such actions, as being proven right now by Tekken 8, is that microtransactions are popping up everywhere. Much to the dismay of gamers as a whole.
Bandai Namco’s Tekken 8 has come under fire recently for its upcoming in-game shop, launching between late February and early March. While its paid cosmetics don’t confer any gameplay advantages, the addition of microtransactions has rubbed some the wrong way, especially given the direction that Mortal Kombat 1 and Street Fighter 6 have gone.
Tomorrow will be a big day for certain fans, as Tuesday is Pokemon Day worldwide. The day is held in “hollowed space” amongst the fans because it celebrates the original release date of the classic monster-catching titles in Japan. While they got an upgrade before coming over to the West, their impact can’t be undersold. After all, we’re still talking about the franchise and its success over 25 years later, and all sorts of people and publications have written about it and its games and have honored its achievements and anniversaries. So with the upcoming Pokemon Presents, gamers are curious about what will be shown, and Pokemon Black and White seems to be the thing everyone thinks is coming.
Tekken 8 has sold two million copies in its first month, according to publisher Bandai Namco.
The developers of Tekken 8 recently explained the decision to include an in-game shop and microtransactions amid the pushback it received. Tekken 8 launched back in January, getting rave reviews and critical acclaim. Much of the praise was given to its plot, the gameplay, and the realistic and dynamic visuals. This has resulted in Tekken 8 becoming one of the best-selling games in the franchise, and it is poised to get post-launch DLC with brand-new fighters, like the fan favorite Eddy Gordo.
