Considering Tekken 7 was released nearly eight years ago, it’s possible that Tekken 8 has been in development for a while but has been kept tightly under wraps. If that’s the case, we may get a release date – or at least a release window – at The Game Awards. Don’t hold your breath, though, because it’s possible that all we’re getting is a new trailer with promises of more information in the new year!
