Tekken 8 has officially been revealed, after a tease last month.
Announced at Sony’s most recent State of Play, an in-engine trailer showed a few of its fighters in a heated battle in the rain. While it was only announced for PlayStation 5 during the showcase, it has since been confirmed for Xbox Series X|S and PC through Steam as well.
While the trailer may look like a pre-rendered cinematic, a post on the PlayStation blog from game director Katsuhiro Harada explains that it is actually showcasing footage rendered in real-time on PlayStation 5. That doesn’t necesarilly mean it’s direct gameplay, but Harada says the clip was actually taken directly from a work-in-progress version of Tekken 8’s story mode.
