- Although the item will draw handfuls from the legacy of its predecessors, it will introduce a number of novelties. The most important of these will be the HEAT system to reward players for aggressive and offensive gameplay. The accumulation of HEAT points will enable the unlocking of special blows and skill bonuses unique to each character.
- In Tekken 8 we will play both as new characters and iconic fighters. Among them we will find such legends as King, Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law and Nina Williams. Jun Kazama will also return to the game after a long 25-year hiatus.
- The arenas will change during the gameplay. An interesting treatment will be the implementation of "extreme events" such as tornadoes, giant waves or fires.
- Tekken 8 will be powered by the Unreal Engine 5 technology and will make excellent use of it. The game already boasts high-quality visuals.
