"STORY: "The Dark Awakens""
One of the attractions of the Tekken series is the epic "father-son" fights between Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya Mishima, and Jin Kazama, which take place over three generations. Even though the composition of the fight is father-son, the scale of the fight gradually expands to include the surrounding areas. In the latest title, "Tekken 8," a direct confrontation between Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama is a major theme.
"鉄拳8"公式サイトThe all-out war between the Mishima Zaibatsu led by Heihachi Mishima and the G Corporation controlled by Kazuya Mishima ended with the victory of the G Corporation, which gained momentum after Heihachi disappeared. However, G Corp. continued to fight in various parts of the world after that, and even after half a year had passed, the world still had not seen a moment of rest. ...... Under the leadership of the United Nations, the leaders of the world gathered and adopted a resolution to impose sanctions on Company G unless it was disarmed. Immediately thereafter, Ippacho, now a representative of G Corp, appeared at the meeting and declared that he would not disarm the company, and at the same time, G Corp troops rushed into the city, engulfing New York in flames. Meanwhile, the rebel army led by Lars Alexandersson is about to launch "Operation Lightning," an operation to take down Ippachi. The central figure in the operation is Jin Kazama, who has gained control of his devils' powers at will. The battle between the Devils involving Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama ...... is about to begin.
"ARCADE QUEST".
"Arcade Quest" features a story mode from the player's perspective that differs from the Mishima family's parent-child rivalry. Players will be able to control an avatar customized to their liking and compete against each other in arcades around the world, aiming to become a full-fledged Tekken player.
"鉄拳8"公式サイトThe main character, Avatar, engages in friendly competition with his friends in game arcades. The main character, Avatar, will learn the basics and techniques of battle while fighting with his friends and rivals at arcades around the world.
"鉄拳8"公式サイトBy watching replays of battles, receiving advice, and completing various tutorials, even Tekken beginners will be able to learn practical techniques while having fun.
"SUPER GHOST BATTLE".
There is no way for the game not to take advantage of the AI that is a symbol of next-generation technology! The new "SUPER GHOST BATTLE" mode allows players to battle against AI ghosts that have learned the moves and characteristics of themselves and other players.
"鉄拳8"公式サイトFighting games are a great way to experience the thrill of fighting with other players, but we understand the feeling of being "intimidated" and "nervous. By using "SUPER GHOST BATTLE," you can gain experience by fighting against an AI that moves like a player!
You can study the moves objectively by fighting against yourself, or you can take countermeasures against characters and players. The "SUPER GHOST BATTLE" with all its possibilities is also playable in the demo version!
