Gamescom Opening Night Live hosted by Geoff Keighley took place with news and updates for upcoming games including Tekken 8. As leaked hours before the announcement, Tekken 8 is releasing on January 26, 2024 for Xbox Series XlS, PlayStation 5 and PC.

The release date announcement trailer also revealed new content coming to Tekken 8 including a new single-player mode, Arcade Quest. The trailer also shared 32 characters will be available at launch for Bandai Namco’s new fighting game.

Tekken 8 pushes the limits of new-gen hardware and technologies. The game features high-definition character models built from the ground-up with high-fidelity skin, hair, and muscles that flex realistically to portray lifelike character animation.

One of the more recent announcements for Tekken 8 was Azucena and Raven joining the roster which was announced at EVO. We assume more reveals await for the next Tekken game coming out in the New Year.
