Tekken 8, the highly anticipated installment in the renowned Bandai Namco franchise, is set to continue the legacy of its predecessor, Tekken 7, under the direction of the legendary Katsuhiro Harada.
As excitement builds around the game, recent datamining revealed the full list of wrestlers present in the game. While the development team aims to deliver an outstanding gaming experience, some criticisms have emerged on social media. Katsuhiro Harada, however, has proven to be quick-witted in responding to the detractors.
Tekken 8 has recently undergone a second closed test, allowing players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, and PC to have a sneak peek at the game. The first test was exclusive to PS5 users, and both phases were held in late July. During this testing period, Katsuhiro Harada has been actively engaging with players on social media, sharing valuable tips to enhance their gameplay experience and addressing their queries.
The Twitter Exchange
One Twitter user, apparently part of the PC testing group, tagged Harada in a tweet expressing their dissatisfaction with the game’s performance. The tweet featured a screenshot showing an error message. In response, Harada didn’t hold back and issued a direct but fittingly sharp reply. “I’m sure those swear words apply to your computer too,” he retorted succinctly.
I'm sure those swear words apply to your computer as well.

Some even requested additional codes for the closed test, while others humorously shared an image of a potato with computer parts, poking fun at the criticizing user.
While an official release date for Tekken 8 is yet to be announced, it’s confirmed that the game will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X | S. Notably, there’s no mention of a version for the older-gen consoles like PS4 and Xbox One.
