Tekken 8: The Highs and Lows

Antagonist Kazuya Mishima of the acclaimed fighting game Tekken 8 gears up for a showdown. Tekken 8 has been praised for its accessible design and approachable mechanics, making the franchise more palatable to a wider audience. However, recent developments have revealed that the game's success may be taking a downward turn.

Unveiling the New Battle Pass System

Bandai Namco, the creators of Tekken 8, recently introduced a new battle pass system. This announcement has sparked a flurry of reactions from players, and not all of them positive.

What's in the Battle Pass?

The new feature, dubbed the "Tekken Fight Pass," will include daily and weekly missions players can complete to unlock various in-game items. It will also feature a free tier track for gear and a premium tier track, which players can purchase. This is a typical battle pass model.

Player Reaction

Many players have expressed their dissatisfaction with this development. Comments on the announcement ranged from disappointment to outright criticism, with many pointing out that battle passes are more suited to free-to-play games, not paid titles like Tekken 8, which retails at $70.

Concerns on the Game's Subreddit

Similar sentiments have been shared on the game's subreddit, with some posts labeling the battle pass and microtransactions as "scummy" and "dumb for many reasons." The main concern is the potential for character customization options to become exclusive to the new system, which could make them either expensive or time-consuming to unlock.
