A new "biggest father-son fight in history" is about to begin!

The trailer depicts "Jin Kazama" challenging his father, "Kazuya Mishima," to fight against his destiny. Just when you thought the father-son fight between "Kazuya Mishima" and "Heihachi Mishima" was finally settled in the previous "Tekken 7", this bloodline is just... awesome! The "Tekken" series holds the record for the longest running storyline in the history of video games, and this title continues that trend, taking place six months after the ending of the previous title.

As many of you may have noticed from the trailer, " Kazama Hitoshi's" mother "Kazama Jun" will be a playable character in the game! Jun Kazama has not appeared in an arcade game since "Tekken 2" in 1995, so it has been 27 years since his last appearance, and if "Tekken 8" is released in 2023, it will be 28 years since his last appearance! Since "Jun Kazama" has been missing until now, it will be interesting to see how he will appear in the story, and what impact he will have on "Jin Kazama" and "Kazuya Mishima".

Battle Concept & New System Revealed!

Tekken8
PR TIMES

The key word for the battle concept of "Tekken 8" is " Aggressive ". The series' unique playability and edge-of-your-seat tactics will be maintained, while aggressive and aggressive fisticuffs and enhanced stage destruction gimmicks will give both players and spectators the most exhilarating experience possible.

The key to this is the new " Heat " system. The new "Heat" system will allow players to actively engage in tactics and use the game as a starting point for aggression through special actions and the enhancement of each character's individuality and characteristics. In combination with the "Aggressive" concept, it seems that this title will be more of a fistfight than ever before.
