Tekken’s story mode has been average in the past, but the Bandai Namco Studios team is promising a more robust story mode for fans looking for a similar experience to the recently released Street Fighter 6 title. This guide will cover everything from the current roster to trailers and pre-order goodies.

What is the Release Date of Tekken 8?

Tekken 8 will be released on January 26, 2024, giving ample time for players to get through Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 before settling in for some good Tekken. This release arrangement was also done strategically to complete the Tekken World Tour tournament for Tekken 7, which will finish on January 14, 2024.

Tekken 8 will be released on PC via Steam, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. The Tekken series seems to be heavily associated with Steam, so players should expect it to remain exclusive to the Steam platform. This is good news for everyone worried about the Epic Games Store snatching up all the newer titles.

All Tekken 8 Editions Available for Pre-Order
