We are getting ever closer to The Game Awards 2022 launch day, with the annual event promising to be even more thrilling than previous editions.
Even Tekken 8, the highly anticipated new installment that will take on the classic original styling of the older chapters in the series, is going to be unveiled during the night.
While other important titles such as Final Fantasy XVI have also been confirmed for the upcoming TGAs, there will apparently be no shortage of surprises.
Now as also reported by Tech4Gamers, the content creator and fan of Bandai Namco’s fighting game saga, AvoidingThePuddle, announced the presence of Tekken 8 at The Game Awards.
In fact, this streamer was reportedly informed in advance of the game’s presence. This will certainly be great news for Tekken fans, looking for a brand new chapter for a long time now.
In fact, the Tekken 7 was released on consoles in 2017 and thus has more than five years on its back. Yet, its arcade version dates back to 2015, scoring almost eight years since the title’s original release on the market.
Therefore, the fans will be glad to make the jump to a new version of the beloved franchise designed for the new generation. Shortly below is AvoidingThePuddle’s tweet.
