Tekken 8 gameplay
Directed by Katsuhiro Harada, Tekken 8 focuses on aggressive gameplay. Players are rewarded for being proactive rather than defensive. A new feature called the “Heat” system has been introduced, which provides chip damage, extra moves, and character-changing abilities such as heavy guard breaches.
Thermal status timer stops during active movement and prevents certain attacks from causing chip damage, promoting health bar regeneration through offensive play. The returning rage system gets a makeover with Thermal Crush. The deprecated “Screw” attribute was replaced by “Tornado”, expanding the juggling mix. Tekken 8 aims for a cinematic feel, including stage destruction, new character models and the power of Unreal Engine 5. Online modes include “Arcade Quest,” which offers avatar customization via “Fight Money.”
