Tekken 8 held their first “Tekken Talk” where Chief Director of the Tekken Project, Katsuhiro Harada, Game Director Kohei “Nakatsu” Ikeda, translator and Producer Michael Murray, and Marketing Producer Yasuda Esports, sit down to talk about the state of the game, any future updates they are willing to share, and what is planned in updates.
To start it off, they announced that there will be a second update, which is planned for release in late Feb or early March, along with balance updates to be released the day prior. Unfortunately, Eddy Gordo, the first announced DLC character does not have a confirmed release date but will be announced when it is confirmed.
Cosmetic and Merchandise Updates:
The new update will feature an in-game collaboration feature which was announced at the Tekken World Tour finals. They will be doing an in-game collaboration with the clothing company UNIQLO. However, fans who want the t-shirts will be able to purchase them through UNIQLO’s stores and release dates for the products will vary by region, but in the United States, it is already up for purchase on UNIQLO’s website.
There are also other forms of clothing for fans to purchase such as tie-dyes, figurines, posters, and more.
Otherwise, players can show off their shirts in-game by claiming one shirt for their Tekken 8 avatar and two shirts for characters for free.
The Tekken Shop is also a new in-game feature that will provide a variety of customization items for purchase, which will include legacy character costumes and character-themed avatar skins. New items will be added once or twice a month. Unfortunately, these items will require actual currency, which may displease some players who do not like the addition of micro transactions. The skins will start at roughly $3.99.
However, there will be some items that are free as well.
