TEKKEN 8

TEKKEN 8 is the eighth entry in Bandai Namco's iconic 3D fighting series, released in January 2024. The game continues the main conflict of the series: Jin Kazama seeks to destroy his father Kazuya Mishima and put an end to the curse of the Devil Gene. A full story mode, "The Dark Awakens", with cinematic scenes covers this clash between generations.

The base roster includes 32 characters. Series veterans (Nina Williams, King, Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, Lei Wulong) appear alongside newcomers (Victor Chevalier, Reina Mishima, Azucena). By June 2026, after three seasons of DLC, the roster had grown to 41 playable fighters, including the crossover character Clive Rosfield from Final Fantasy XVI.

The key new feature is the Heat system: once per round you activate an aggressive boost that pressures the opponent and opens up moves available only in this state. The online mode received the long-awaited rollback netcode (network lag no longer ruins a match) and cross-play between PC, PS5 and Xbox. Arcade Quest mode lets newcomers learn the mechanics within a narrative frame.

The game requires about 100 GB of disk space and is well optimized: a stable 60 FPS on the recommended hardware. The Russian interface and subtitles are included, but there is no official Russian voice-over. Characters speak their native languages (Japanese, English, Korean and others).

The legendary 3D fighting game from Bandai Namco. 41 characters, the Heat system, rollback netcode, cross-play. Jin versus Kazuya: the final battle of the Mishima clan.
