A recent rumor has claimed that Dragon Ball FighterZ developer Arc System Works and its publisher, Bandai Namco, have supposedly split ties. The latest update for Dragon Ball FighterZ was dropped near the end of February, adding rollback netcode to improve its online environment, as well as new PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions. While these features were things fans had waited years for, gameplay clips show that the new update has broken the game in various ways.
Tekken 8 Exceeds Bandai Namco's Expectations, Tops 2 Million Sales | Push Square
20.02.2024 - 00:38 / pushsquare.com
Bandai Namco’s excellent brawler Tekken 8 is exceeding the publisher’s expectations, and has topped two million units less than three weeks after its release. It took Tekken 7 around two months to achieve the same milestone, meaning this new entry is selling at a much faster pace than its predecessor. Bravo to all involved.

The success is deserved, and we’re huge fans of the game, as noted in our Tekken 8 PS5 review: “Tekken 8 is a modern fighting game masterclass. It doesn't skimp on single player modes, its online offering is robust, and it's a serious visual spectacle. But most importantly, the battles are brilliant; accessible yet deeply technical, and supremely satisfying to be a part of — perhaps more so than ever before.”

It’s been a good time to be a fan of fighting games, having Tekken, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 6 all releasing quite close to each other. Definitely Tekken 8 has been my favourite though!!
It deserves the success. Whilst it was a joy to play and platinum i ended up selling it to a friend.i just found it too hard for me to master on a competitive level. Great game tho. Ive always said i didnt like Tekken because i found the moves and button commands complicated but this is by far the most user friendly. I really had fun.
@Bionic-Spencer feeling the same having SF6 and T8 where I feel the former is an afterthought after playing T8. Even feeling buyer’s remorse since got SF6 a week before T8

Tekken 8 Patch 1.02 Out Now on PS5, Adds Cosmetics DLC Shop and Adjusts Characters | Push Square
A new update for Tekken 8 has dropped, bringing cosmetic DLC to the title via an in-game store. In truth, we think it's a bit cheeky of Bandai Namco to add something like this when all of the reviews have long been posted, but it's worth noting that Tekken 8 does have full character customisation and a range of alternate costumes by default. Still, it's a tad underhanded.

Tekken 8's Tekken Shop Will Include Both Paid and Free Content on PS5 | Push Square
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.
