With the upcoming release of Tekken 8, fans are eagerly awaiting new features, characters, and gameplay mechanics. One of the most exciting announcements is the return of the beloved Tekken Ball minigame and the introduction of the Closed Beta Test set for October 2023.
For those who reminisce about the golden days of Tekken 3, the announcement of Tekken Ball’s comeback is a nostalgic treat. This unique minigame, which blends Tekken’s signature combat with a beach volleyball twist, challenges players to use their fighting skills in a whole new way. While the ball might seem harmless, the objective is to use it as a weapon to knock out the opponent. Although the Closed Beta Test won’t feature a playable version of Tekken Ball, its mere presence has stirred excitement among the community.
The Tekken 8 Closed Beta Test promises to offer players a glimpse into the game’s new features. Scheduled from 20-23 October 2023, the beta will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Players can anticipate exploring the new Fight Lounge, a multiplayer social hub designed for matchmaking. This lounge will also feature stores for player avatar customization, staying true to Tekken’s tradition of quirky cosmetics.
