Twitter user @AvoidThePuddle has confirmed that Tekken 8 will be at The Game Awards after posting a picture of a Tekken 8 t-shirt that also says “Tune into The Game Awards Livestream!”
It’s been heavily rumored that the game will be featured at the event, but the image has confirmed it will be making an appearance. It’s likely that a new trailer of the game will be shown, but no official details have yet been given.

According to Katsuhiro Harada, “This new entry will focus on the father and son showdown between Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama”.
Tekken 8 will be the second Tekken game to utilize Unreal Engine but will be using Unreal Engine 5 for this installment, making it the first fighting game to utilize the latest Unreal Engine.
