In the highly anticipated game Tekken 8, the King has something important to announce. After a nine-year wait, the release date is finally here and fans are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to play with all 32 characters.
Bandai Namco has put a lot of effort into this game, and it shows. In fact, in a hands-on preview, it was hailed as "the best-looking fighter ever." So, let's dive into all the details you need to know about Tekken 8, including its release date, where you can play it, and what special editions are available.
Tekken 8 will be available on Friday, January 26 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. But, there's also a demo that can be downloaded early for free on all platforms, although with limited access to game modes. Unfortunately, there is no early access available regardless of which edition you purchase.
The game can be pre-ordered for £69.99 at the Xbox Store, £64.99 at the PlayStation Store, and £54.99 for PC on Steam. However, there are also two special editions: the Deluxe Edition and the Ultimate Edition. The Deluxe Edition, priced at £94.99 on consoles and £84.99 on PC, includes the base game, season pass, and various avatar skins.
