The Tekken game franchise, developed and published by Namco (now Bandai Namco Entertainment), debuted in 1994 as an arcade game before being ported to the PlayStation in 1995. As one of the first fighting games to use 3D animation, it quickly gained popularity for its deep combat mechanics and diverse character roster. The series follows the tumultuous Mishima family, whose internal conflicts drive much of the storyline. Over the years, Tekken has expanded with numerous sequels and spin-offs, becoming one of the best-selling fighting game franchises and a staple in both competitive gaming and popular culture.

Tekken 8

Tekken 8 continues the tragic saga of the Mishima bloodline, and its world-shaking father-and-son grudge matches. After defeating his father, Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya continues his conquest for global domination, using the forces of G Corporation to wage war on the world. The game’s story mode, titled “The Dark Awakens,” takes place six months after the events of its predecessor and focuses on the final confrontation between protagonist Jin Kazama and his father, Kazuya Mishima. Meanwhile, an additional story mode delves into the ancient history of the Mishima Clan and the resurrection of Heihachi Mishima himself.
