Bandai Namco had announced playable demo for Tekken 8 available for PS5 on Dec 14th, and for Xbox and PC on Dec 21st. The game is set to release across all platforms on Jan 26, 2024.
In the demo, you will be able to play as Jin, Kazuya, Paul & Nina and experience Chapter 1 of the main storyline, titled “The Dark Awakens”. In addition, Arcade Quest Chapter 1, Super Ghost Battle, Versus (partial mode) & Gallery (partial mode) will also be available in the demo. A key piece of information that the studio put out is that the save data for the demo will not carry over to the full version.
This is carrying forward from the closed beta that was rolled out in October, and a new gameplay trailer released during The Game Awards earlier this December.
According to Bandai Namco; Tekken 8 “continues the tragic saga of the Mishima bloodline” , thus building upon the main characters Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima who engage in a “city-shattering face-to-face showdown”. Continuing ahead, “Jin reunites with his long lost mother and seeks to stop his father Kazuya’s reign of terror”
