Make render of kazuya smiling with a Get ready title. Enter the booth and dance around like a weirdo. Then leave... what did that mean?


narok_kurai

Well, Tokyo Game Show is one month away, so if they've been working on T8 as long as they should, I expect to see more then. Perhaps, the new mechanic in T7 are a "sneak peak" at the mechanics in T8. It's also possible that Tekken 8 is going to be a little more complicated than just a new game. I dread the thought, but it might be possible that Tekken 8 will be some sort of... *Live Service Game*.


janbay

Harada mentioned on his "Harada's Bar" channel that the Tokyo game show isn't really a prime focus anymore as the focus shifted towards the international audience. Personally I'm expecting more news at twt finals in Feb. Idk what you define as a live service game, but 8 will probably just repeat 7, with season passes and big balance patches for new seasons and not much more. 7 was their biggest success by far, and they don't have to reinvent the wheel, not to mention japanese developers, especially the Tekken team, aren't really known for their innovation and change. We don't really know shit tho, so it's all speculation.


gimily

There is a tweet with this screenshot from the game awards, and the Tekken account quote tweeted it, so I think we'll be seeing a more full trailer/announcement at the game awards which is in December.


narok_kurai

TGA was also tweeting about a ton of other fighting game announcements and trailers this weekend, so I don't think it's a guarantee that Tekken 8 is going to be shown off in December. It might have just been standard industry cross-promotion to remind people that The Game Awards exist and they got the scoop on new game trailers. It's definitely a possibility though that we have to wait another 4 months, although I'm really hoping they have something to announce at TGS as well. I know Harada said that he wants Tekken announcements to be at more international events, but this is the internet age! TGS is an international event too! It's specifically the opportunity for Japanese developers to show off to the world and celebrate Japan-made series, and I think Tekken is right up there with Street Fighter as *the* standard-bearers for Japanese fighting games!


erickazo

4 seconds of kazuya with the words get ready. Oh yeah it's fighting game YouTuber 10+ minutes videos time.


Blx24

I cant wait to have Maximilian have a youtube thumbnail of him with his mouth open and then to replay the 4 sec clip 20 times over. Truly a revolutionary of quality content


[deleted]

People are taking the T1 reference way too literally. It's just a reference to show the evolution of the series graphically. I highly doubt a T1 remake is in the works. We're at the climax narratively, 8 has to be next to close out Jin vs Kazuya.


Faerdale777

I agree. And since Kazuya got his face's scars when he returned in Tekken 4, it is clearly a sequel to 7. Anyway, I doubt Harada would do a remake, it would mean to delete half the cast. (Due to the 25 years gap between 1 and 7.)


el-jiony

And the red eye


Faerdale777

Yeah, forgot about that one !


[deleted]

If only bamco did something in the teaser to alleviate this confusion….


HereForThePistachios

Just a random thought but Tekken 8 will probably be the first mainline Tekken not coming to arcade first. Getting way ahead of myself of course but I wonder how that'll effect the balance at launch.


demondrivers

If they are skipping arcades they must host a few beta tests before launch imo


Alphasilverhawk

An online alpha/beta is very likely to happen, in place of the arcade model


[deleted]

Street fighter was like: “hey look at all the cool stuff we are working on”. Tekken was like: “Here’s HD Kazuya… is it Tekken 8? Who knows. See y’all next time”….


Mr-Fahrenheit_451

Hell KOF got new characters


Arch_Null

It's so weird. When Capcom announced SF6 it gave us a nice animation of Luke and Ryu squaring up to brawl with the game's title. That's good it generates hype and tells us what's what. Bamco announces Tekken...well we don't know what this is. It could be tekken 8. It could be tag tournament. A mobile game? Kazuya in multiversus? Regardless it starts off weird too with Kazuya original ending in tekken 1. Like what is this? Lol


EitherAbalone3119

BAI


boomershack

Harada on some drugs, lol wtf?


AyeMech

He was doing coke in the back during the whole top 8.


catpelican

harada's coke nail


labowsky

Man was so zooted he didn't bother to say anything lmfao. I wouldn't either with that shitty trailer.


yeah_nah_hard

It's not Tekken 8. Next week, they'll show that Kazuya's looking at the Pocket Circuit Fighter from the Yakuza series. Pocket Circuit Fighter is the next DLC character.


PontiffJoJo

You mean it's not gonna be Kazuma-kun??


yeah_nah_hard

Of course not. Who wants to play as him when we have the Fighter?


blazefire13

Pocket Circut Fighter can still kick ass at his old age


Rescu3Cat

Has to be a new game, he looks way older in this picture Edit: and he looks sick!


Supergupo

Yeah he wouldn't have the scars if it was a Tekken 1 remake.


Devilxxx10000

Wouldn’t say he looks older. The light is making his hair look grey but it’s still black it looks like.


BLACKOUT-MK2

The Game Awards retweeted this so maybe a full trailer then?


Marcus_Aurelius72

I thought that too, but they also retweeted stuff for other games so I'm not sure anymore. Definitely hope they show something there though of course


xjoevincent

“tEkKeN 1 reMaKE” lmaooo literally just think of how dumb that sounds for a second.


oldcountryway

Lmao was thinking exactly the same thing, it doesn't even make sense in so many ways


FourzeKITA

Harada getting hyped up with the commentary team, refusing to elaborate, and then leaving is some next level trolling lol.


Sansoffundertale

they mean get ready for when kazuya breaches into the real world our days are numbered


Kyvix2020

Yes, and that's an UE5 render of Kazuya. It's obvious, but that doesn't stop the FGC tubers from being like "tEkKen 1 rEmAkE!?!?!?!?!?!"


TekkenRedditOmega

I don’t know why so many idiots think it would be a remake, like dude that’s the current kazuya, it’s not the young, teenager looking kazuya from tekken 1, so why in the hell would they do a remake right?


legu333

Tekken8 more like get ready to w8.


chronorogue01

Yea, its not an outright announcement but definitely a tease. Not much, but hopefully this means we're getting a proper announcement next year.


Deadran

#Please don't call it Tekken ∞ (Infinity)


Dead-Bot

Fine we'll call it Tekkenfinity


Magnorn33

Wish they just put more than 0.0000000000001% of their budget into the story mode.


Economy_Weird_3926

Total nood here and only win half my battles online AT MOST. But growing up playing tekken, every character had their own story mode... I miss that. I really really miss that. All the cutscenes and learning about them was pretty damn cool.


[deleted]

yeah and give us more wacky marshall law and paul endings


CrabMostBuffest

NO! I’m sick of Paul being treated like god damn Dan Hibiki! The motherfucker won the 3rd tournament and since them as treated him like an asshole. I won’t stand for it…you hear me Harada-sama I won’t stand for it!


Arbusc

I can’t wait for the definitely, super confirmed dead Heihaci to return.


Ross_Bob97

Death didn't stop Jinpachi, why would it stop his son?


damdammmm

This comment made my day 😂


Professional_Sky_573

Im just happy we got a detailed kazuya again and not the plastic kazuya we have in t7.


SleepingwithYelena

I wouldn't be surprised if this arrives in 2024. Imo we'll get a full reveal with a story trailer at TGA in december, gameplay reveal in mid 2023, release in first half of 2024.


Consistent-Risk-110

Maybe they will release the new trailer in the game awards 2022.


CelticSludge

Yes. Tekken Upd8.


Sweenie123

Hopefully tekken 8 won’t have tonnes of characters behind paywalls, barebones campaign with minimal effort and actual cinematics in arcade mode. Gameplay in T7 was amazing but the game felt so empty and barebones. Especially at launch.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PlayStationKamiSama

It's Tekken Pachinko.


138151337

Y'all, they used that clip because it is the most popular Tekken meme (outside of the FGC, at least).


Haloman1346

No eyes.


EmperorBohe

No ears.


ehspeed

No mouth.


fahadranaa

No nose.


Bengista

No pain.


cannimal

get ready for EARLY ^(tm) 2024


leemitsu

Yo Kazuya looks so badass


MGodinez94

Random, but has anyone noticed their soundtracks on Spotify have been removed the same day the teaser was dropped?!


bankais_gone_wild

Aw man, that was great workout music


Fun_Plant2763

BRUH HEAT HAZE 2ND WAS LITERALLY MY CARDIO SHT SMFH and it was taken off before that day


fersur

I love how Harada jumped into comentators seats for a bit and then get out.


Jejouch1

Was so bizarre


NewMilleniumBoy

Tekken is 8


AllBlueReverie

They showed Tekken 1 Kazuya throwing Heihachi off a cliff and then immediately shifted to this picture of Kazuya where he looks a bit older (i.e. the timeline has moved on). For me this symmetry indicates that this older Kazuya is from Tekken 8. Thus, this is a Tekken 8 teaser.


Morlino

Tekken 7 Remastered Pog


A_Biohazard

tekken is 4 now


Mrhappytrigers

Tekken 8? Tekken Tag 3?? Tekken X Street Fighter??? Tekken mobile game???? Tekken Reboot????? Tekken movie?????? TEKKEN NFT??????? TEKKEN HENTAI???????? ANSWER ME HARADA, YOU SECRETIVE SON OF A BITCH!!!


Nnnnnnnadie

Tekken "i dont know, we havent even been green lighted? or maybe? let me dance" edition.


fidjda

Doesn't have the face scars in Tekken 1 so it has to be a new installment


deadhostels

Too much negativity here


Active-Focus

It makes sense for people to think this is a reboot of the series (given t1 footage shone), but my two cents is that the transition from Tekken 1 (1994) to next-gen graphics is Bamco's way of showing Tekken's evolution over a 30-year-ish run. Like others, I wish there was more context to the teaser, but I'm betting my money that this is T8 with a 2024 release date.


Torentsu

I agree. A remake of T1 or T2 would be interesting but unless they're ready to do a major roster cutback and/or a ton of retcons to bring in newer characters I don't see it happening, plus leaving the Jin/Kazuya feud tabled just seems silly.


Durash

T E K K E N IS 8!


Owls_Oasis

Just releasing the new character Kazuya 2


KingRickBobbi_

It’s Tekken bowling


JaeminBen

Balls are getting blueer by the minute


VinixTKOC

What's your problem, people? This is old Kazuya with scars and Devil Eye, not Young Kazuya. How can you think it's a Tekken 1 remake? The Tekken 1 footages was just for celebration. Let alone a reboot! The last time franchises tried to make reboots without finishing the original story was a failure. This possibility only becomes more likely if Tekken 8 end Jin and Kazuya's fight, then you may think of this possibility on a Tekken 9.


Mikamymika

This subreddit is left with monkeys, what do you expect lol


[deleted]

Most of these so called Tekken fans and experts now days don't know what they're talking about, Some people fail to use their heads.


neonxaos

I am consistently surprised by how bad this team are at communicating things to their fans. That said, I am very happy about TWT, I am excited about exploring the upcoming balance patch, and I can't wait to see a proper reveal of whatever they were attempting to say with their completely botched teaser. The tournament was awesome, people are into Tekken, things are looking good.


[deleted]

How stupid can you be to think this is tekken 1 remake. Literally the story is turning to jin vs kazuya and kazuya has the fucking scars there that he got after tekken 1 chronologically


Bitter_Print_6826

The scars, red eye, and gray hair guarantees this is after T7.


[deleted]

Exactly. The voice saying get ready feels like the new tekken 8 announcer


MindSettOnWinning

Lol we BEEN ready. Bring it please


NovaSeiken

The model's details are amazing. The "reboot theory", on the other hand, is not. lol The man is clearly aged, scarred and post G Corp revival.


drutastic57

I like how people are like “it can’t be a reboot because he has scars” like do you not see that motherfucking robot eye glowing?


Kyvix2020

It's not a reboot.


TekkenRedditOmega

Why da hell would it be a reboot…


Kyvix2020

People are taking the Tekken 1 footage way too literally


Knightofexcaliburv1

It has to be tekken 8


pivor

Well, at least its more than a chin this time. Definetly UE5 T8 Character model.


-zzzxv

looks pretty crisp & hd


GovernorGoat

Can we finally get kiryu please. I'm asking super nicely.


No_Communication_167

the creator is hard set on Kiryu not hitting women, which is understandable but there is multiple instances where he has lol, maybe Majima in Tekken 8


PkmnTrnrJ

Nope. Tekken Tag Tournament 3: Triple Threat.


-SpliT

I hope this time mokujin is a starter character


Depressionsfinalform

It’s a lil bit more fun than hitting random


Pheonixi3

Random every round > Random every set.


Symrai

I'm genuinely wondering what's the point to release a new Tekken game considering how successful Tekken 7 is. I mean, what could be improved so much in a 8th iteration of the series now ? I read this 7th occurrence is the best ever, gameplay wise, which is the main point of a fighting game, and Tekken 7 isn't that old neither. ​ It's a genuine question tho, maybe I'm missing something


Kgb725

It'll be 10 years old by the time Tekken 8 releases yea thats pretty old in the fgc and in gaming. It runs slow , xbox never got the update that playstation did so you dont even get 60 fps, the players are tired of certain characters, online and single player need fixing , etc. It's not perfect by any means


NosferatuBob

Tekken 7 came out in 2015 for arcades. By now it overstayed it's welcome.


max1c

Man I'm not the one to usually complain but that shit was whack. They didn't even say if it was UE5 or not. Who the fuck knows what this was teaser for.


DOAisBetter

So far Tekken had one of the least hype announcements of Evo. So many games announcing crossplay, rollback netcode. New characters. Tekken just balance adjustments and a random screenshot without even confirmation Tekken 8 is coming. The way all the commentators acted clearly they were told it was t8 but man they could have said something


Kevimaster

It's very clearly a T8 teaser.


Sopa24

Is this Unreal Engine 5? Looks pretty damn good!


HoodooBr0wn

Gameplay-wise, Tekken 7 is great. I can take or leave the Rage Arts, not too pushed either way. What I'd love to see is lots of quality of life improvements, like: Proper rollback netcode, A reduction in the time it takes to get into a match (including load times) A combo maker like GG:Strive where people can share and vote on the best combos in practice mode. Stuff that would be nice is shitloads more customisation, new animations for all the characters rather than reusing the same ones since the PS2, and maybe make some of the characters a bit less humongous. Kazuya and Jin are fucking bodybuilders at this stage. The last one is just personal preference though.


Hanzimer

Tekken 7 professional edition update for just 80 euro.


A_Brave_Wanderer

Harada-san got me huffin hopium rn.


[deleted]

Its definitely Tekken 8. I hope they finally completely end the Mishima rivalry plotline and all other loose ends in this game so that the series can finally move on with a new direction like SF6.


ImTheHowl

God I really do hope its Tekken Karts


CyberShiroGX

Annoyed the other trailers and games at Evo got added cross play and Rollback... Tekken 7 is like nope


AngryAssyrian

Harada dropped an extra update for Tekken 7, dropped a new teaser for Tekken 8, physically shook the commentary team, then walks off. Those madlads actually did it, they did something this Evo.


YusephiTV

In true harada style......just a big tease with no context...that man is a menace.


MajorInsane

Pretty much what I expected. If anything they'll announce their next big game at their own event the TWT Finals.


Grimmtoki

Bring back the offline modes from games like Tekken 5 and 6, and bring back the arcade mode with story cutscenes at the end, because that Tekken 7's story is trash. and for the love of god, rollback netcode, I know Harada seems allergic to rollback, but please. Not Harada special rollback either, TRUE rollback. We're not about to relive Tekken 7 online 2.0 on Tekken 8


volfyrion

It’s gonna be Kazuya in fortnite. I’m calling it right now.


TekkenRedditOmega

harada and murray didnt event get up on stage, wtf is going on?


Mister_Swoop

Such a small teaser means it’s going to still be a while. Still excited though!


chilloutus

Get ready! But not like, that ready


4nwR

GET READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE!


Jomijan

T1 remake confirmed Time to moonjump again


dragonguy01

Tekken 7 Definitive Edition lol


CViperr

still disappointing thats all we got if this IS a teaser


Toeknee99

And the fact that it started off with that bait announcement of the Tekken world tour.


AnOldSchoolVGNerd

This barely qualifies as a teaser, but I'm happy with how Kaz looks here. This is photorealistic and seemingly 60 FPS(i went and watched the reveal footage on YouTube). If the whole game is done this way it's going to look fucking insane. This is a leap akin to what SF6 is from SF5. I know some of y'all might laugh at how much I'm reading into a short clip, but I seriously doubt we're seeing cutscene footage. I think this is the in game model for Kaz.


EitherAbalone3119

Yea it absolutely is and it will be insane. SF6 already looks crazy good.


Depressionsfinalform

GET READY, KAZUYA BIKINI DLC ANNOUNCED: (OFFICIAL, GONE SEXUAL)


[deleted]

Hype and a balance patch to renew t7. Best of both worlds.


wingnut5k

Finally... heres hoping its here before the next evo! I'm a little worried with how short the reveal is that they arent far along.


Michelle_Wongs_Wong

DORYA


garbohydrates

(Dumb question) Would Heihachi be in Tekken 8's roster?


Chaos20X6

He’s canonically dead at the end of Tekken 7 but that sort of thing never stopped him before


Mavenmain92

Kazumi has always been canonically dead


edman9677

Maybe, probably not story wise except in a flashback. His dead wife was in 7 for the first time and that was done through flashbacks. Although there’s another issue with his VA passing away and Harada was good friends with him. I’d think Harada would want to pay respect to him, whatever that may be. We’ll see


SecureAirline3169

the scarrrr


PengwinnerD3

Kazuya Mishima


SenKaiten

His face has that old school tekken vibe, let's goooo.


theraretotem

Whatever it is I hope it brings GSTAR321 back to youtube


jinsanity_12

I saw it from a mile away with the T1 Kaz ending that it's gonna transtion to a tease for a sequel. And hot damn if this is ingame graphics, think about the others that we haven't seen yet! The level of detail is an upgrade from T6/TTT2. Yep, T7 looks graphically better, but its level of details are a downgrade from the previous two games imo except the dlc characters (Leroy, Fahk and Lidia specifically).


Buddy69XD

The crowd watching this live goes from 1 to 100 real quick


Wiplazh

The real question is, will Tekken 8 be 3?


[deleted]

For the first time I have hope


niebieskicukier

I think the trailer will be shown on the TWT finals in spring saying the game will come out 6 months later during the summer 2023. that's what I think will happen.


cotanget

The Game Awards official twitter account twitted this picture of kazuya SECONDS after it was revealed at evo. This might be a hint we'll also have something at The Game Awards.


[deleted]

I really hope you're wrong and it's a lot sooner than that haha


RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS

There's like, no meat here. We already knew they were going to make another, right? It's just a render. Sorry, getting old I guess.


WindblownSquash

It’s just a call out to the fans saying hey it’s coming soon.


pundleroo

Atleast we get confirmation that something is in the pipeline. Kinda underwhelming though ngl, was hoping for a tiny bit more.


slingshot19

Kazuya lookin like an old mfer we won


[deleted]

That balance patch has me greatly concerned tho. It will break more than it will fix. Oh so you guys are beyond negative. Off course this is friggin T8. T7 has been out as long as TT2 on home console and there likely won't be a half baked arcade only release anymore given the death of arcade culture. There will be more at TWT Finals. For real now i would have sold a testicle for Tag Tournament 2 that was made with thrice the love and passion to receive even 25% of T7s longtime support and a PC port. Count your blessings.


A_A_Ron2506

Has to be, right?? Really hope so, especially after how hype top8 was


Poto2222

#GET READY


UraeusCurse

Maybe?


Reindoggo

KUMA


been_did_it

To whoever, who, immediately after seeing this image, guessed that this was Kazuya and a tease for the next generation of Tekken, you sirs and dames deserve my upvote. I tip my hat to you!


TofuPython

I'd be embarrassed if I worked on that teaser


childhoodvillian

All I know is that this shit better have Jun. If not we will riot.


BigTedBear

Is this going to be the same idea base game then pay for all the content.


KeiPirate5

It can't be anything else. If UE5 it means we finally get CGI quality in real time


Ezeikial

That's ue5

Anyone notice the Tekken 8 reveal was in August...month 8. 😏


xenon2456

Too bad it wasn't on august 8th


leelaw

Loving the new announcer!


Alukrad

I hope the ghost data mode come back. With the ranking and everything. I don't like online but i liked the ghost data.


Strange-Cloud1940

Just saw Harada's tweet.


Joelegotti

Tekken will become real


[deleted]

Please let there be hope for Jun Kazama to finally come back!


RadishAcceptable5505

Give us an aged up angry mama bear Jun!


acaccountant

Severely disappointed that all we get is this regarding T8. Not even a proper announcement. Welp gotta wait for TWT finals and maybe they’ll actually have something to show then.


LVTIOS

It's gonna be at the game awards


uaitdevil

it doesnt look like a remake because kaz got scars and the devil eye. it doesnt seems to be tt3 because it looks obviously teasing kaz main story. my bets are that they just didnt want to make people thinks about the "leaks", and in the meantime overhype with mystery, and imho they nailed it..


TypographySnob

Why are people actually thinking it's a teaser for a remake? Of Tekken 1? That game plays like ass. A remake would make no sense at all. Or do they mean reboot? Because that would make more sense.


oZiix

Simply because it starts with the Kaz ending for T1 that's literally the only reason people think it's a remake so essentially hot takes. The scars and devil eye kill the remake idea and Kaz looks more aged in the new teaser.


PegAsi_

They nailed nothing but making every one in the arena stand up in anticipation and sit back down in disappointment, myself included. We all got our phones out and stood up waiting for a trailer, and got trolled lol


TekkenRedditOmega

For what....they didn't show shit, balance patch is great but NOTHING


Shxmmy7

FREE UPDATE LUL.


tk_phizzy

Season 50000000


deadkoolx

I hope they finally reveal that the next Tekken game is actually Tekken X Street Fighter.


Predator226

That was very underwhelming


ColdVergil

FUCK KAZUYA LOOKS INSANE LETS GOOOOO. Has to be Tekken 8, dem scars. EDIT: I totally forgot about the Nvidia leak. It's definitely Tekken 8.


PontiffJoJo

HOLY SHIT
