Bandai Namco’s marketing campaign for Tekken 8 has definitely kept fans on their toes. They started by giving us a short teaser trailer at last year’s EVO before officially announcing it in a State of Play a month later. We then had to wait three months for some pure gameplay confirming that Jun Kazama will be joining, so it’s understandable that many wondered if the game would be released this year or not. I think it’s safe to say that the developers are aiming for a 2023 launch after today.
After showing off Nina and Kazuya earlier this month, Bandai Namco has now given us a new gameplay trailer that gives us a closer look at what Jin Kazama will be able to do in Tekken 8. Three videos like these in a month makes it seem like Tekken 8 wants to go up against Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 12 this year.
What do you think of the roster so far and when will the game be released?
