Tekken 8 Fans Upset with Battle Pass Announcement

Fans are not happy with Tekken 8's upcoming battle pass system. During a recent Tekken Talk Livestream, Tekken 8 developers confirmed that a battle pass will be coming to the game. Like other battle passes, the new pass, called the Tekken Fight Pass, will allow players to obtain items by completing a variety of challenges during a limited period of time.
Tekken 8 is the latest entry in the long-running fighting game series. Tekken 8 launched with a total of 32 characters, 29 of which came from past games. The addition of more characters is inevitable in fighting games, and players can already purchase new characters as separate DLC packs. However, the way Tekken 8 plans to implement its own battle pass system has caused intense controversy within the community, with negativity rapidly spreading in online discussions about the game.
According to Video Games Chronicle, a large portion of Tekken 8 fans is not thrilled by this announcement.Much like its peers, Tekken 8 launched at the now-standard $70 price point. With the revelation that Tekken 8 will soon be getting its own battle pass, a lot of fans are upset at the thought of the game charging players even more money. As a result, a plethora of negative comments are running rampant within Tekken 8's subreddit. “I was annoyed about the Tekken Shop but got over it, but a Battle Pass?” said user shinyshinx789. “They’re treating this full priced game like it’s free."
The new Tekken Fight Pass will launch with both a free version and a premium version, which will offer players “items that are even more luxurious." Players can already earn Tekken Coins for use in the Tekken Shop, but this new pass seeks to change how players interact with the game fundamentally. It appears the negative reaction from fans has just as much to do with money as it does with how the Tekken Fight Pass was announced. Another thread on the Tekken8 subreddit titled “Regardless of pricing, you must admit WAITING to tell about MTX and Battle Pass is scummy” has garnered well over 800 upvotes. Fans stated they felt blinded by the delayed announcement and have lost trust in Tekken 8 as a result. User IAmGrumpyMan said: “I love Tekken 8, but I also feel like we have been catfished. Adding all of this horrible FOMO crap after launch is scummy practice, and they are fully aware of what they are doing and why they are doing it this way.”
Expansions such as Tekken 8's new fight pass are nothing new, with last year's Street Fighter 6 eventually getting its own pass, which included new characters and costumes. Tekken 8 already features a jam-packed in-game store, however, which allows players to purchase DLC character packs. It seems the community is taking greater issue with how the developers

Though Overwatch 2's Season 10: Venture Forth event does pack a long list of interesting skins for a wide variety of heroes, it appears these come at the cost of cosmetics for the drill-wielding damage hero.
