Tekken 8 is playable early by signing up for its next beta
Bandai Namco has announced that Tekken 8 is getting another closed beta, which means you have a chance to play the game early once more if you sign up.
The closed beta is happening next month, so be sure to sign up today and hopefully, you can get in on the action before it is too late. The beta will be available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. What’s more, you won’t need an active PS Plus or Xbox Live Gold account to participate. It will also feature 19 playable characters.
The Tekken 8 closed beta will feature cross-play across all available platforms and during the test, you will be able to experience the: “Fight Lounge, an immersive lobby where players can interact with one another and access new features and game modes. In the lounge, players can create custom Avatars, communicate with other players via chat and emotes, set up matchmaking, and experience the deep customisation and variety of game modes via four distinct areas called Battle Area, Customisation Shop, TEKKEN DOJO, and Beach Area.
“The lounge will also feature the return of Tekken Ball, the beloved mini-game that first appeared in TEKKEN 3 where epic battles are “fought” on a beach volleyball court. The TEKKEN 8 CBT will let testers try out features in the Battle Area and Customisation Shop, while Tekken Ball will not be available. More features for the “TEKKEN Fight Lounge” will be announced soon.”
