Tekken 8 Developer Clarifies Accessibility Options for Color Vision

In a recent tweet, Katsuhiro Harada, the developer of the highly anticipated game Tekken 8, addressed some misconceptions regarding the game's accessibility features.

Harada emphasized that the game includes several color vision options to accommodate players with different color vision needs, not just a single pattern. This effort is part of Tekken 8's commitment to making the game accessible to a broader audience.

The game offers multiple color vision options, a relatively rare feature in the fighting game genre. These options include brightness adjustment for effects and overall screen brightness, providing players with a significant range of visual adjustments. Harada also clarified that while these options have received positive feedback from many demo play participants, they do not cover all players' color vision needs. This point was particularly emphasized to correct any overstatements made by the community about the game's accessibility reach.

Tekken 8's development team has collaborated with various research institutes and communities to enhance these options. This collaboration began before developing the accessibility version of TEKKEN 7 (not for sale) and continues with Tekken 8. Harada's statement reflects the team's ongoing commitment to research and improvement in this area.
