Bandai Namco is adding a new fighter, Feng Wei, to Tekken 8's roster. You can try him out in the closed beta from October 20 to October 23. Mark your calendars for the action-packed beta, which will begin on Friday, October 20 at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST / 10am CEST and will end on Monday, October 23 at 12am PDT / 3am EDT / 8am BST / 9am CEST.
However, Feng Wei will not be the only newcomer on the battlefield during the beta. Players will also be able to try out Raven and Azucena's abilities for the first time. Returning characters from Tekken 8's previous closed network test, such as Jin, Kazuya, Jun, Paul, Law, King, Lars, Jack8, Xiao Yu, Nina, Leroy, Lili, Asuka, Hwoarang, and Claudio, join this new cast.
In terms of battlegrounds, the closed beta will have six dynamic stages. From the July closed network test, Urban Square (Evening), Yakushima, Rebel Hangar, Sanctum, and Arena will proudly return. In addition, for the first time, gamers will be able to experience the new Ortiz Farm stage, which will add an additional level of excitement to the action.
Those nervous to get in on the action should keep up to date on the gameplay modifications introduced clearly for the beta vs the closed network test. Details on these changes, as well as sign-up information, may be found here.
Registration for the closed beta is currently live, and interested warriors can reserve their position until October 11 at 12am PDT / 3am EDT / 8am BST / 9am CEST. Participants in the closed network test, for example, will not need to reapply because they will be instantly eligible to join in the beta.
The official release date for Tekken 8 was already announced by Bandai Namco. Mark your calendars for January 26, 2024, when the game will be released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. With the closed beta approaching, fans can hardly wait to experience the epic battles and fierce rivalry that await them in the world of Tekken 8.
