Although it does not have a release date, it seems that Bandai Namco is close to announcing when we will be able to play Tekken 8 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC. After months without knowing anything about the new fighting game, the title has been receiving trailers focused on its fighters in recent weeks, even having announced a good number of returning characters from the past. Thus, today it has been confirmed that Hwoarang will fight in the eighth game of the main series.
Like many fighters, Hwoarang first appeared in Tekken 3., although this young man in his twenties became the direct rival of Jin Kazama when the two tied in a tough street fight earlier. In fact, Hwoarang’s trailer already reveals the cinematic of his confrontation against Jin, also showing the redesign of the character known for his mythical kick combinations.
Before Hwoarang, the return of two other fighters from the past was announced at EVO Japan 2023, although the last trailer of Tekken 8 was carried out by Lili. This character is something special as she lacks any kind of formal martial arts training, making up for this by being an expert in gymnastics, being able to do pirouettes, twists and somersaults, which gives her great range and damage to her legs. battles. For her part, Hwoarang does not hesitate to get off her motorcycle to use her lethal combination of strength and agility to win every fight.
A game that can surpass Tekken 7
Tekken 8 is being developed on Unreal Engine 5 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC, something that we highlight thanks to its awesome graphics in our impressions of the game, where we anticipate that “the combats that we have been able to test show us that the saga will return with a delivery that can go much further than Tekken 7”.
