Bandai Namco is full steam ahead with Tekken 8 as the fighting game fast approaches launch day. The title is due for release on 26th January 2024, and up to now, most of its trailers have been focused on single characters. This new one, however, shows off the game's Story mode — and it's looking typically mad.
Following on from the events of Tekken 7, the story will follow Jin Kazama in his quest to bring the fight to his father, Kazuya. The mode will involve the game's wider cast in a narrative that'll see the return of the King of Iron Fist Tournament — but it seems the world has bigger problems if Kazama is allowed to run rampant.
The just-released Tekken 8 demo includes the first chapter of this Story mode, so you can see how it starts out before the full game comes next month. Are you excited for Tekken 8? Tell us in the comments section below.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how fire Yoshimitstu looks?
I played the demo today and I loved it. It was just a small taste, but it was so, so delicious.
Yoshimitsu looking good! The demo is really enjoyable too, though none of my usual characters is valuable
This looks awesome and capitalizes on all of my nostalgia. Tekken 4 was one of the first games I owned on PS2, amazing game. That being said I just cannot justify spending 70 bucks on a fighting game. I don't play online and wouldn't really play locally with anyone so I don't think its worth it for just the campaign and the odd time I would throw it on for a round or two. The last full price fighting game I got was Tekken 7 and while I had fun with it it is still one of my most regrettable purchases based on the value I got out of it
I’m so curious if Heihachi really is dead. I just have this feeling we’ll be seeing him again. I can’t wait to play the demo tonight.
@somnambulance he is Harada said it recently.
@Jay767 I’d like to say I believe that, but you never know. It could be a fake out. Developers say characters are dead all the time, only for them to have a grand reveal and revival. Until someone beats the game, we won’t really know…
And even then, he could be dead, but gets resurrected or comes back as a ghost or, I mean, there could be a robot Heihachi or a clone or all kinds of things. Do not underestimate games to give us something ludicrous and for it to be all the more exciting because of how crazy it is.
I want to believe.
OMG. The non-English voice over of this franchise is always a bummer for me
Couldnt get in to the demo. I did have my doubts as ive always struggled to get to grips with Tekkens move system. Looks good and runs nice but its not for me.
I have always been way more into Virtua Fighter, and had trouble getting the Tekken system, but I am going for it this time, day 1.
After watching the trailer it seems like they could be doing a Tekken 2/3 story in this game, a remake of Tekken 2 would be sweet but this might cure my fix.
That was a pretty sweet trailer. I'm sure Heihachi gets revived somehow. Anyone know what happened to Lei Wulong?
