After the release of a new Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat last year, the Holy Trinity of Fighting Games will be complete with a new instalment of Tekken.
Announced just over a year ago during a Sony State of Play presentation, Tekken 8 picks up where the last chapter left off, focusing on the war between Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama. In terms of gameplay, the Rage System from Tekken 7 will be returning, while a new mechanic called the Heat System will be introduced, which promotes an aggressive playstyle over a defensive one.
Kotaku’s Managing Editor, David Smith, got to spend some time with the game last year and was impressed with what he saw.
