Tekken 8 – Shaheen Showcased in New Gameplay Trailer

Tekken 8’s demo went live on PS5 three weeks ago, before going live on Xbox Series X/S and PC a week later, and it seems it has been well received by those who have played it, to the extent that it’s having a tangible impact on the upcoming fighter’s pre-launch sales.

The Tekken series is known for all kinds of fighters, from devils to cyborgs, so it only makes sense for a bear to practice martial arts.

After launching last week for PS5, Bandai Namco’s free demo for Tekken 8 is available on Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam. It includes the first chapter of Story Mode, The Dark Awakens, and Chapter 1 of Arcade Quest (though its content differs from the game).

Fast forward to now, and we’re only a little over a month away from the release of Tekken 8. The game will try to push things even further, and a new story trailer highlights the upcoming struggle that will consume the world.
