Get Ready For The Next Battle! Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed Tekken 8 starting last year, with multiple teasers about the main story which will involve Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima as its two main characters.
Tekken 8 introduces new gameplay mechanics such as the Heat System, which adds new attacking avenues and combos that the players can utilize. Also, Tekken 8 has vastly improved graphical aspects thanks to Unreal Engine 5 which the game uses.
