Tekken 8 game director owns up to Season 2 screwups: "We will continue to make steady, meaningful improvements one by one, and do our utmost to regain your trust"

Tekken 8.

Tekken 8's game director has commented on the extremely negatively received Season 2 patch after releasing an emergency patch for the game.

While Tekken 8 was pretty beloved at launch, the game's Season 2 update – which was released alongside the new DLC fighter, Anna Williams – has gone down like a lead zeppelin. The patch was intended to encourage more defensive play but ended up making the game even more offensive-focused (for a game that was built around offensive play, that's a bit too much). It resulted in an 'Overwhelmingly Negative' rating on the game's Steam Store page and caused the series' producer, Katsuhiro Harada, to admit that the backlash towards it was warranted.
