With a series as long-running as Tekken, players have had ample opportunity to connect with characters and their backstories. Having spent hours in practice rooms myself trying to master combos with certain characters, I know how daunting it can feel to be met with Tekken 8’s a new roster that might not contain the characters or combos you’ve spent hours learning. But, these changes to the 3D fighter are also an opportunity for players to have a ‘fresh start’ with the franchise, and re-learn exactly what it is all about.
Tekken 8 is set to deliver many changes to its core content to help welcome new players while still helping veteran players reconnect with a series that hasn’t received a new game in eight years. Outside of its visual improvements as spotlighted within reveal trailers and beta tests, there are also several mechanics implemented into gameplay and improvements that have been made to the player experience to help take the Tekken series to the next level.
