Since its official reveal in 2022, the highly-anticipated Tekken 8 has been giving players intermittent tastes of its chunky, satisfying combat through network tests and closed betas. To give players the early opportunity to get back into the fight, Bandai Namco has announced an official demo for the game as it approaches its official release.
According to an X post by Tekken, the demo offers players the chance to experience the first chapter of Tekken 8’s story mode, throwing them back into the fray of the Mishima family feud. It will also feature a local versus fighting mode for some couch combat competition.
The Tekken 8 demo will be made available for the PlayStation 5 console tomorrow on 14 December 2023. PC and Xbox Series X|S users will be able to access the demo a week later on 21 December 2023.
Aside from the Mishimas, other beloved familiar fighters will be making their return alongside new and interesting ones. Notably, the recent introduction of Reina has fans speculating who she is, as she boasts the Mishima fighting style with renewed vigor and a condescending Heihachi-like facade.
The next upcoming Tekken installment will feature a base roster of 32 characters. We recently sunk our teeth into experiencing 30 minutes of Tekken 8’s Story Mode, VS Mode, Arcade Quest, and online lobby interactions. Suffice it to say, it was a delight beating other players and getting beat along the way.
Players will get to officially enter the ring in Tekken 8 on 26 January 2024. It will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
