TEKKEN
8 Eddy Gordo Gameplay Trailer & Release Date, TEKKEN Fight Pass
Announced, Patch Notes
|
|
|
|
 During
today's TEKKEN Talk stream, Michael Murray, Katsuhiro Harada and Kohei Ikeda
informed TEKKEN
8
players about the latest updates coming to Bandai Namco's hit
3D fighting game (already selling over 2 million copies to date).
The developers noted that T8 is selling much faster than TEKKEN
7, which moved a record-breaking 10
million copies worldiwde. During the stream, Bandai Namco announced Eddy
Gordo's release date and dropped his official TEKKEN 8 Gameplay
Reveal Trailer. Although a fan-favorite series veteran since T3, Eddy Gordo brings a streamlined and refreshingly new Capoeira
style to TEKKEN 8 with all-new stances, transitions, movement
options, attacks, and more — complete with beautifully fluid and
completely new animations from the ground up.
Michael Murray said the development team paid extra close attention to the
authenticity of Eddy Gordo's updated animations and new moves, with one of
Bandai Namco's own devs being a great help as a Capoeira expert and having
a connection with a major Japanese manga based on the Brazilian martial
art. Eddy's TEKKEN 8 moveset was designed to have a "more
natural and realistic" flow and visual appeal for players and spectators
alike.
Early access to Eddy Gordo begins April 1st, 2024 for owners of the
Season Pass. General access for everyone else begins April 5th,
2024. Additionally,
Bandai Namco revealed some new items coming soon to the TEKKEN Shop,
including a legacy costume for Yoshimitsu
based on his TTT2
appearance, "Cyber Pack" costume sets for all playable
characters, and Eddy Gordo avatar skin.
|
The
developers touched on the ongoing problem of online rage quitters, who
will now be put into a "rage quitter purgatory" or potentially
permanently banned from playing the game online for continued offenses.
Unauthorized activities include intentional disconnections (rage
quitting), other forms of cheating / glitching, rank boosting, and inappropriate
behavior / customizations / usernames in online modes.
|
Finally, Bandai Namco also announced a "TEKKEN Fight Pass"
for TEKKEN 8 which appears to be similar to the format used by
Capcom in Street Fighter 6.
The TEKKEN Fight Pass rewards players for completing daily and weekly
missions in online matches which unlocks various items for characters and
avatars.
|
Last but not least, Bandai Namco confirmed yet another
character balance patch set for release alongside Eddy Gordo. This
includes some universal mechanic updates along with specific character
move behavior tweaks. Read the full
patch notes for TEKKEN 8 version 1.03.01 directly below.
|
Today's full Tekken Talk stream
archive can be viewed on YouTube (link below). The Eddy Gordo gameplay demonstration begins
around the 1:15:00 mark.
|
Once again, early access to Eddy Gordo starts April 1st, 2024 for
owners of the Season Pass and general access begins April 4th-5th,
2024. Thanks
