Feng Wei TEKKEN 8 Reveal
Trailer, Character Render & Screenshots, Closed Beta Test Announced
|
|
|
|
 Bandai
Namco announced Feng
Wei will return in TEKKEN
8
with a new trailer and confirmed a Closed Beta Test will be live in
October. The Tajiquan master demonstrates a mix of new and returning techniques in his TEKKEN
8 trailer, including a classic move or two from prequels that he didn't
have access to in TEKKEN
7 (a cool trend we're seeing in TEKKEN 8). The end of the trailer confirms the upcoming
Closed Beta Test
will be live from October 20-23, 2023 on PlayStation 5, Xbox
Series X|S, and Steam. Players who participated in the previous Closed
Network Test will automatically gain access to the Closed Beta Test in
October. Read more details about the TEKKEN 8 CBT, below.
[UPDATE] 
Added four official screenshots from Bandai Namco and one video
with new gameplay.
Bandai Namco said the
purpose
of this Closed Beta Test is to test the network and monitor the gameplay
experience of TEKKEN 8. In addition to the standard matchmaking,
participants of the TEKKEN 8 CBT will be the first to experience
the "TEKKEN Fight Lounge", a large-scale online lobby
featuring Avatar Customization, Player Customization, Text
Chat, Ghost Match, and Matching from Arcade Machines.
The October '23 CBT will also feature Quick Match and Battle Tutorial from
the first CNT.
In addition to all 16 characters from July's Closed Network
Test, the CBT will add Raven,
Azucena, and Feng
Wei to the
playable roster along with a sixth playable stage (Peru). TEKKEN 8 will launch with 32 characters, with 4
additional post-launch DLC characters planned to release in the Year 1
Pass. Twenty-five characters have been revealed for TEKKEN 8 so far, with
seven more reveals coming before launch.

The official website
for TEKKEN 8 contains more information and a registration form for the
Closed Beta Test. The registration period for the Closed Beta Test ends
October 11th (12am PDT). [UPDATE]
Today,
TEKKEN Ball Mode
was also confirmed to be returning in TEKKEN 8. Check out the first footage of
