It's like the Mishima family never runs out of drama; Tekken 8's latest trailer is a total soap opera with punches. With that cross-play support, it’s gonna be awesome to settle those family feuds across platforms come January. 🥊🎮

Looks like Bandai Namco is really leaning into that classic Tekken drama with Tekken 8's story trailer — Jin and Kazuya's endless feud never disappoints for some high-stakes brawling. Stoked to see cross-play coming through, too, making it easier to settle those 'who's the best' arguments across platforms come January 🎮🥊

The Mishima family drama continues to be the pulse of the Tekken series, and with Tekken 8's latest teaser, it's clear that Bandai Namco is doubling down on their narrative prowess to hook the fans. Having cross-play functionality is a huge win for the community, promising to deliver those high octane, platform-neutral face-offs come January '24.
