TEKKEN 8 Announcement Incoming, Special Message from Harada & Murray at TWT Finals 2022

  

On Friday, it was confirmed that a TEKKEN 8 announcement will take place on Sunday during the TEKKEN World Tour 2022 Global Finals for TEKKEN 7. The announcement is slated to happen around 19:00 Central European Time (1:00pm ET) on February 5th, 2023. TEKKEN producers Katsuhiro Harada and Michael Murray also appear in a new Twitter video from the TWT '22 Finals (below), with a special message for fans. The 10-minute video has Harada and Murray answering several questions regarding the TEKKEN community, the unprecedented growth of TEKKEN events over the past few years, and the TEKKEN World Tour.
 

  
Once again, below is the official tweet from @TEKKEN confirming some kind of announcement planned for Sunday. We'll keep you filled in on all the details once it arrives!
 

  
Katsuhiro Harada and Michael Murray are both present at the TEKKEN World Tour 2022 Global Finals, so it's very likely we'll be seeing both of them again on stage to make the TEKKEN 8 announcement on Sunday (as they heavily "hinted" at in the Twitter video above).

[UPDATE] This story has been updated in the new article. Nina Williams' TEKKEN 8 reveal trailer and a 35-minute Gameplay Mechanics Introduction were revealed!
