However, Harada has remarked that the final scene of the trailer involving broken chains acts as symbolism for Jin breaking free from the conflicts he has been connected with for several games. It continues absorbing his humanity to the point that he becomes his Devil Jin alter-ego in the middle of the fight. While Jin already faced his relatives in previous games from the franchise, in the upcoming one, he is shown in a major conflict with his Devil Gene abnormality. Jin Kazama and his father, Kazuya Mishima, are poised to begin their final battle and conclude the family feud. * It is unclear yet if Devil Jin will feature as a separate character to Jin in ''Tekken 8''. This closed network test will be available to a limited number of players on a first-come, first-served basis. The test aims to assess various game aspects, including balance, matchmaking, and overall stability before its official release. In contrast to Tekken 7, which is powered by Unreal Engine 4, Tekken 8 will be powered by the Unreal Engine 5, making it the very first major fighting game to utilize this latest game engine.īandai Namco announced its plan to conduct a closed network test in July 2023. In addition, voice lines will be based solely on the current voice actors, rather than using any from the previous games.

Rather than recycling content, all character models are completely new and are meant to be an improvement over previous games. However, unlike the Tag mode-only health bar regeneration system from Tekken Tag Tournament games, fighters’ recoverable health can only be recovered by attacking the opponent. When guarding against a normal state’s heavy attack, or Heat State characters, fighters will receive a chip damage that causes their health bar to become regenerable. Tekken 7’s “Screw” damage property was originally going to return in this game, but it is ultimately replaced with a newer juggle combo extender system that puts opponent into a ground-bound-like state upon falling backflip to the ground quickly - similar to Tekken 6 - whether the combo extender be a launcher or a knockback. This new system was based on reception to the predecessor. There will also be a focus on stage destruction, character reactions to these, and making the gameplay enjoyable to watch as well as play, since Tekken is now considered a high-level e-sports game. The Heat State’s timer can be stopped if fighters’ move sets are being used. Fighters can also dash cancel their designate moves into the Heat State, similar to MAX Mode from The King of Fighters series. Similar to Soul Charge state from Soulcalibur VI, the Heat State grants not only chip damage and additional move sets, but also changes the properties of some characters’ move sets, such as a heavy guard break. The gameplay will reward aggressiveness rather than those who 'turtle up'.
