Bandai Namco Confirms the Official Launch Date for Tekken 8
Social media has been abuzz with speculation regarding the release date of Tekken 8 following a post on Reddit by user shyl0c. The post shared a picture from a local game shop displaying promotional posters for Tekken 8 with a launch date of 21st January for the PS5.
This date contradicts the previously confirmed launch date of 26th January, leading fans to speculate about a possible early release on Sony’s current-gen console.
However, Push Square reached out to Bandai Namco for clarification, and it has been confirmed that the 21st January date is a mistake, likely a typo on the store’s part. Tekken 8 is still scheduled for release on the 26th of this month, as originally announced.
