For all fans of fighting games, there is good news: Bandai Namco is announcing an extensive demo for Tekken 8, just about a month before the game”s official release. The demo allows players to try out different modes and offers an insight into the game world in advance. Although not all features of the full version are available, the demo promises a solid foretaste.
The Tekken 8 demo offers access to the Story Mode, Arcade Quest and Versus Mode, but lacks multiplayer options. Players can also explore the gallery. It should be noted that the modes in the demo are limited in their full scope to give players a taste of the experience to come.
Unfortunately, there is a small catch: the demo will not be released simultaneously for all platforms. Access will be staggered according to the following schedule:
- PlayStation 5: Playable from December 14, 9:00 a.m.
- Xbox Series X-S: Playable from December 21, 9:00 a.m.
- PC (Steam): Playable from December 21, 9:00 a.m.
Despite the different start times, the content of the demo remains the same on all platforms. The available characters from the extensive Tekken roster remain a surprise for the time being
For those who don”t want to wait for the demo, there is already an exclusive preview of the game.
