Following the recently announced Tekken 8 roadmap, Bandai Namco has revealed the details of what will be in the next Tekken 8 update. This fits right in with the recent Tekken 8 roadmap, as it said Spring updates would be focused on balance adjustments, which is most of what is seen here.
Tekken 8 Releases Update 1.03.02
16.04.2024 - 22:12 / gamerant.com / Bandai Namco / Eddy Gordo / Kazuya Mishima / J Brodie Shirey
Tekken 8’s latest update patch is now live, bringing with it a host of bug fixes and other quality-of-life improvements. The latest entry in the hard-hitting Tekken franchise was released back in January and has earned rave reviews thanks to its visual presentation and more “aggressive” gameplay. Tekken 8 marks a new chapter in the far-reaching Mishima family saga, as Jin Kazama returns to his earlier role as a hero and aims to take down his father Kazuya Mishima once and for all, while a large cast of supporting characters embarks on their own connected stories through intense, one-on-one battles.
While Tekken 8 was already warmly received when it first launched, developer Bandai Namco has been refining the game through update patches throughout 2024. The most recent one, Update 1.03.01, finally introduced longtime Tekken alumni Eddy Gordo as a playable DLC character among other tweaks. However, the subsequent addition of a Tekken 8 battle pass has been met with considerable backlash, enough for some players to begin posting negative reviews on the game’s Steam page.
Despite this controversy, the developers are moving ahead with the next Tekken 8 update patch, which is now available to download as of today. Update 1.03.02 is primarily focused on fixing bugs and adjusting the balance of certain characters like Eddy Gordo and Zafina. New items are also being added to Tekken 8’s Tekken Shop, such as seven Avatar skins.
Server maintenance for Tekken 8’sUpdate 1.03.02 is already complete, so players can just dive back into the game once the latest Tekken 8 patch is finished downloading. File size information isn’t included in the patch notes, so it isn’t clear how much storage space the new update will take up or how long it will take to download. It is worth pointing out that there doesn’t appear to be any major new content in this latest patch aside from the aforementioned skins, so it should be a light download.
That being said, any improvements to Tekken 8’s already solid gameplay are likely to be welcomed by the game’s loyal fanbase, even in light of the recent controversy surrounding the use of an online battle pass to draw revenue on top of Tekken 8’s hefty $70 entry price. This latest update patch doesn’t do much to address this backlash, but it will ensure that Tekken 8 will run more smoothly on the battlefield.
Bandai Namco's Tekken 8 will be the franchise's debut entry on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and the fighting game is built in Unreal Engine 5. The story revolves around Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama's relationship.

Tekken 8 Bot Gets to Destroyer Rank Pressing One Button
A fan-made Tekken 8 bot managed to obtain an online rank of Destroyer by pressing a single button. Bandai Namco's 3D fighter franchise has fostered a sizable and dedicated community since its 1994 debut, but that doesn't mean all the members of the Tekken sphere can agree on acceptable playstyles. Many players particularly look down on «spammers,» but as one user's Tekken 8 bot has shown, there might be a reason why mashing the same move over and over again is such a popular strategy.

A bot in Tekken 8 is demolishing players by only pressing one button over and over
Button mashing is advised against in fighting games if you want to climb the ranks. But those of us who've been destroyed by unpredictable little brothers going ham on a joystick know a secret. Sometimes spamming works. One Tekken 8 player is proving this point. They have programmed a bot of Eddy Gordo, the whirling Capoeira fighter, to slap the same button repeatedly, and nothing else, while broadcasting its performance against real players on Twitch. The bot is doing surprisingly well.
