Revelado durante a EVO 2024, Heihachi está vivo em Tekken 8 e já está disponível para lutadores que adquiriram o Passe da Temporada, junto da primeira expansão do Modo História do jogo.
O capítulo da história “Ecos Inesquecidos” está disponível gratuitamente para todos os jogadores de Tekken 8 e explicará mais sobre como o Rei do Punho de Ferro, supostamente morto no final de Tekken 7, conseguiu enganar a morte.
O novo DLC é o terceiro lançado para Tekken 8 desde o lançamento do jogo em janeiro de 2024 e apresenta outros conteúdos novos. A expansão adiciona um estágio totalmente novo, o Templo Genmaji, um retiro isolado na montanha onde Heihachi treinou com monges secretos para aprimorar seu estilo de luta.
O cenário apresenta mudanças de ambiente com o tempo, desde um dia ensolarado até folhas caindo ao entardecer e uma silenciosa nevasca à noite. Outros recursos atualizados do jogo incluem uma nova tela de menu principal personalizável, na qual os jogadores podem escolher qual personagem será apresentado. Além disso, o Tekken Dojo no Fight Lounge agora permite que dois jogadores treinem juntos online.
A colaboração com a NIKE traz dois tênis de marca inspirados em Jin e Kazuya para o jogo, disponíveis por meio do novo Tekken Fight Pass. A fabricante de óculos Gentle Monster também traz um par de óculos de sol inspirado em Kazuya, disponível gratuitamente por tempo limitado a partir de hoje na Tekken Shop.
Tekken 8 está disponível para PlayStation 5, Xbox Series e PC via Steam.

For certain characters whose performance stood out, we reduced their effectiveness within a range that does not affect their behavior in order to maintain system stability.
- In the upcoming v1.09 update, we are considering adjustments that will affect the behavior of certain characters (such as Dragunov and Alisa), including changes to the tracking performance of their attacks and the reaction of opponents when hit.
