New Tekken 8 Trailer Showcasing Paul Phoenix Gameplay

Bandai Namco has released a two-minute Tekken 8 gameplay trailer that focuses entirely on the modern version of Paul Phoenix.

Mr. Toughest in the Universe changed his outfit and mastered new techniques, including strikes with the Heat System that can throw an opponent out of the arena, activating a stage transition. Paul still relies on solid attacks and punch combinations to break through the opponent's defenses.

Tekken 8 is being developed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The team has kept the release date a secret, but the fighting game may go on sale as early as 2023. 

According to plans, Tekken 8 is now one of the publisher's most important games in development. The product is described as "to release in 2023 or later", which means it can be presented to the public in the fiscal year 2023, starting after March 31, 2023. Of course, this still leaves a chance for a release window in early 2024, as the fighting game is being developed on Unreal Engine 5 only for the latest generation of PlayStation and Xbox home consoles.
