PS5 Tekken 8 Game

Feel the power of every hit in Tekken 8, the latest entry in the legendary fighting game franchise from Bandai Namco. Utilising the power and realism of Unreal Engine 5, Tekken 8 pushes the envelope for fighting games by taking full advantage of the power of the latest generation of consoles. Ground-breaking new features, breathtakingly detailed character models and dramatic environments make this one of the most visually stunning and immersive titles in the genre yet. Tekken 8 picks up after the gruesome battle that ended in Heihachi Mishima’s defeat in Tekken 7, focusing on a new rivalry, pitting father against son as Jin Kazama stands in defiance against Kazuya Mishima in a city-shattering face-to-face showdown.

Aggressive new gameplay

The new ‘Heat System’ rewards you for going on the offensive and fighting aggressively. Heat can be used at any time during a round to trigger special moves and ability boosts unique to each character. Staples such as ‘Rage Arts’ and all of the series’ signature moves and bone-crushing combos also make their return in Tekken 8.

The roster includes iconic fighters like Paul Phoenix, King, Marshall Law, and Nina Williams, and sees the return of Raven – last featured in Tekken 6, 15 years ago. Jun Kazama returns to the story for the first time in 25 years, since her disappearance in Tekken 2, and Tekken 8 also introduces a new three characters: Azucena, Victor and Reina.
