Tekken 8 Release Date Revealed Leaks Online
The anticipated release date for Tekken 8 has surfaced online, igniting excitement among avid gamers and fans of the iconic fighting game franchise.
Aggiornamenti Lumia, a well-known and trusted leaker, has indicated that Tekken 8 will be released on January 26, 2024. Lumia has gained a reputation for diving into the backends of digital storefronts to uncover game release details.
This revelation adds to a series of leaks that have been emerging concerning the upcoming instalment of the popular fighting game.
Images from last month's EVO event surfaced online. These images, captured from the Tekken 8 booth at EVO, displayed the character Steve and glimpses of the game's roster. EVO attendees were afforded the unique opportunity to test the game, adding to the growing anticipation surrounding its launch. The images confirmed a previous roster leak.
Earlier, a leak showing Tekken 8's complete roster emerged, reportedly due to the utilization of the cheat engine. Cheat Engine is a PC application that empowers players to manipulate game elements using community-generated scripts.

Earlier this week, Katsuhiro Harada, the director of Tekken, took to Twitter to address the situation.
Harada acknowledged some minor leaks but was quick to point out that the leaked details were outdated and had since been modified or removed. Additionally, Harada revealed that the developers had largely traced the source of these leaks.
He mentioned that the leaked information was exclusively shared with entities involved in debugging and localization. Harada assured that any subsequent leak would directly identify the individual behind the unauthorized disclosures.
The developers officially unveiled Tekken 8 in September 2022 during the PlayStation State of Play livestream. The game will be available via Steam on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
