A PS5 Slim wasn’t revealed during the State of Play today, but we did get a first look at Tekken 8 for the PlayStation 5. This trailer isn’t just pre-rendered cut scenes, as it has gameplay taken directly from Tekken 8’s story mode rendered on an actual PlayStation 5 console at 60 frames per second, similar to how you would experience the game in versus battle modes.
The development team vastly improved Tekken 8’s playable character models to completely set itself apart from the current Tekken 7. Whether it be the small water droplets that run down the character’s skin or even tornadoes in the background, you’ll find it in this installment. What you’re seeing are the actual battle stage effects that will be in the final game. There’s no word yet on a definitive release date, but we’ll keep you posted.
- Stunning Games - Marvel at incredible graphics and experience new PS5 features.
- Breathtaking Immersion - Discover a deeper gaming experience with support for haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D Audio technology.
- Lightning Speed - Harness the power of a custom CPU, GPU, and SSD with Integrated I/O that rewrite the rules of what a PlayStation console can do.
Also, the Tekken series holds the record of being the longest-running story in a video game. Just as the ending dialogue of Tekken 7 mentioned, this new entry will focus on the father and son showdown between Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama. As for the meaning of the scene in the trailer and how significant it is to the main story,… we look forward to you finding it out when the game releases,” said Katsuhiro Harada, Executive Producer and Director, Bandai Namco Studio.
