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 Drops Two Character Trailers At Evo
07.08.2023 - 17:53 / gameranx.com
EVO 2023 was over the weekend, and as you can imagine, it was one of the biggest gaming events around, with a massive crowd of fans eagerly awaiting all the great action that was to occur. But as those same fans know, the show was also in the prime position to drop some information on future titles that would make their EVO debut. One such title was Tekken 8. The game is coming soon enough, and the team has slowly revealed the roster and their abilities. At EVO, they surprised fans by dropping two trailers. One featured a returning character, and the other was someone entirely new.
Let’s start with the familiar face, shall we? First up, we have Raven! Raven has been one of the long-time veterans of the franchise and was even used in the live-action movie. But the version we get in Tekken 8 appears to be much different than the ones we’ve seen before. The “Shadow Agent” seems to have done some training with Naruto, as he’s gotten his own version of “shadow clones” that he can use in various ways to put a beating on foes. That training reaches even into his most devastating attack, where he can summon a handful of those shadow clones to beat up a foe before he delivers the final strike.
It’ll be curious to see how balanced that new gameplay style is for Raven, as it could be perceived as broken thanks to all the “outside help.”
But that wasn’t the only trailer that arrived. We also got a new character trailer via the “Peruvian Coffee Queen,” but you can call her Azucena.
Unlike Raven, Azucena relies on herself to get the job done, but not in the way you’d expect. As you’ll see in her trailer, she likes to dodge and evade people’s moves before going deep into some strikes and wrestling moves. She’s also really into coffee if her nickname wasn’t obvious, and they even have an interaction with her fighting a tea lover, and it doesn’t go well for the tea lover.
It appears that Azucena will be a character for those who love to play a more defensive style of combat, which could make her popular when EVO 2024 comes around.
You’ll also notice that in both trailers, the characters break through the stages and lead to different areas. So you’ll want to try that out for yourselves when the game releases!

Alone in the Dark Gets Two New Trailer Drops
Alone in the Dark is a rather long-running video game franchise. It’s been around since 1992, when the first game launched for the PC platform. However, this year we’re getting a remake. While the developers are still pushing through the game, it’s slated to launch this October, and that might make it a well-worth investment if you’re after a spooky game this Halloween season. But while we are waiting for the game to release, a new set of trailers recently dropped today. Both of these are available for you to view down below.

Does Tekken 8 Rating Mean Release Date Imminent?
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?
