The short trailer showed Jin Kazama confronting his father, Kazuya Mishima, on a rainy and rocky cliff. Jin was able to shift into devil form on the fly, performing a massive punch after doing so. Huge storms rage behind the fighters during the battle, with tornadoes raging in the sea below. A PlayStation Blog post by Tekken executive producer Katsuhiro Harada confirms that all of the visuals featured in the trailer — the “character models, backgrounds, and effects” — are all in-game. The scene is taken from the game’s story mode, but the blog says that what is shown is similar to what players will experience in the middle of battle. “Although this was captured by story mode, it’s not a pre-rendered movie made for the trailer, but rather real-time rendered footage,” writes Harada, “running at 60 frames per second, similar to how you would experience the game. in combat modes against.” The reveal follows a small experiment shown during Evo 2022 in August, where a single image of Kazuya’s face appeared along with the words “Get Ready” after the Tekken 7 Grand Finals. Tekken 8 will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam at some point in the future, as no specific release date or window was revealed with the trailer. No other characters were revealed during the short trailer. GameSpot may receive a commission from retail offers. The products discussed here were independently selected by our editors.
