Bandai Namco debuted a new story trailer for its upcoming fighting game, Tekken 8, at Gamescom Opening Night Live last night along with a release date of 26 January 2024. Pre-orders were opened up shortly after the announcement along with the prices of the standard, Deluxe and Ultimate editions of the game. Here’s a pre-order guide to Tekken 8 for South Africans including local prices.
Tekken 8 will launch early next year for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC as the available platforms. It marks the eighth mainline entry in the long-running Tekken fighting game series and continues the story of the King of Iron Fist Tournament with the Mishima family at its core. It’s worth noting that the game is currently listed as cheaper on PC via Steam than its pricier console versions.
