2023 might be coming to a close, but it looks like the constant stream of major new game releases isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The first few months of 2024 have a number of heavy hitters lined up for launch, with Tekken 8 being one of the biggest ones, and ahead of the fighter’s imminent release, players will get the chance to sample some of its offerings soon.
Bandai Namco has announced a free demo for Tekken 8, and it’s releasing imminently- though not for all platforms. PS5 players will get the demo on December 14, while Xbox Series X/S and PC will get it a week later, on December 21. The demo will include the first chapter of The Dark Awakens, Tekken 8’s story mode, while a local versus fighting mode will also be included.
Tekken 8 will launch in full for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on January 26. Check out its PC requirements through here.
