TEKKEN 8 Announcement
at The Game Awards '22
|
|
|
|
 Earlier
this year, The Game Awards host Geoff
Keighley
posted a
tweet "subtly" hinting that a TEKKEN 8
announcement would be made at this year's show set for December 8th
(5:00 pm PST). Note that this tweet was posted before
the official TEKKEN 8 gameplay reveal trailer in September
(and after the original EVO
'22 teaser). Nonetheless, the
time seems just about right for another major TEKKEN 8 reveal before
we reach the end of 2022. A recent tweet
by Geoff Keighley from a few days ago includes a subliminal
image containing "D8" which stands for December 8th.
Geoff further emphasized the 8 with his comment, "don't be
L8".

What some folks on
Twitter might've missed (while habitually doomscrolling and tweeting about
the platform's demise earlier this week)... is that the
"8"
in this tweet happens to be the exact same color as the
"8"
in the official TEKKEN
8 logo. 
|
Who
knows... the impending TEKKEN 8 announcement could even help kick off
the entire Game
Awards '22 show itself
much like Sony's State
of Play event back in September. I believe producer
Katsuhiro Harada has also tweeted at Geoff Keighley once
or possibly twice related to this date and TGA '22 all but
100% confirming that major TEKKEN
8 news is planned to drop on December
8th, 2022 at The Game Awards live show.

In
related news... according to recent reports, Bandai Namco may even have
plans to "launch TEKKEN 8 sometime in 2023"
although this is unconfirmed.
Last week, Insider Gaming claimed that a Bandai Namco
representative stated during an earnings call that the company has plans
to launch TEKKEN 8 sometime after March 31st, 2023, or later on in
2023. This information could be interpreted in numerous ways at this
point. If not a full launch to directly compete with Street
Fighter 6, perhaps this means there's a chance that a TEKKEN 8
beta test could take place sometime in 2023. Further details on this have yet to be clarified or confirmed, but
we'll keep you updated.
The Game Awards will be streaming live from the Microsoft Theater is Los
Angeles on December 8th, 2022 at 5:00 pm (PST). More information on The Game Awards 2022 is
available on the official
website. Be sure to stay tuned on
The Fighters Generation for upcoming TEKKEN 8 news,
upcoming character reveals, and content coming soon.
