On the last Game state Announced the next installment of the very popular fighting game series Tekken.

Among other things, he also talked about the development process, the plot and his opinion about fighting games.
Source: Philip Kraucher, indian-tv.czA detailed analysis of Unreal Engine 5. Why will this engine change the gaming industry forever?
Seems Tekken 8 to come out of the shadow of their predecessors, we can only guess for now. However, the fact that the battlefield and the fighters themselves will be transferred to Unreal Engine 5 gives it a significant advantage, which will allow developers to create great miracles both in the arena and with everything that is on it. For excellent optimization, the development team works closely with Epic.
For example, we are talking about raindrops, which will not only be a visual addition, but will also behave depending on what happens next to them. If a drop falls on a character model, it will remain on it or simply fall down. Puddles form on the ground. Thus, keeping your fighter completely clean will be much more difficult than winning the round.
As for the plot, in the seventh volume it could seem a little neglected, which should not be here. Episode eight should be the turning point. Speaking to IGN, Harada himself said:
“The history of the Tekken series has always been about the Mishima family and their blood feud, Tekken 7 introduced Heihachi Mishima with Kazuya and their showdown. This piece ends everything, so now we show everyone the culmination of the story from the start of the campaign, and here we are showing off the remaining Mishima. The two who were already the only ones left from the entire Mishima line. And then we have Jin Kazama and what he wants to achieve.“
If you are used to the so-called. from the previous part Rage Artso get ready that we probably won’t see them here. And most veterans would probably welcome it, but Harada he didn’t confirm or deny anything..
Regarding fighting games, interest in which has been declining in recent years, the director expressed a lot of optimism. According to him, this impression is mainly created for a younger audience due to other titles, but Tekken does not suffer from this:There may be fewer mid-sized games coming out, but big fighting games and indie fighting games are still going strong.“
Tekken 8 Coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. An official date has not yet been set.
