Tekken 8 is a popular fighting game series, that was released on January 26, 2023, for PlayStation 5 (Windows), Xbox Series X/ S (Windows), and PlayStation 4 (Mac). The game is titled "The Dark Awakens" and is based on the "Kazuya Mishima vs. Jin Kazama" series. The game centers around Jin Kazama, who seeks to end his father's legacy by defeating him. The game features 32 characters, each with its own unique story.
Bandai Namco Studios first announced the upcoming game at the August 2022 Evo 2022 event and then showed off the game in more detail at the September State of Play event at Sony. The game was developed using Unreal Engine 5, which allowed for improved visuals and smoother gameplay.
