A Tekken 8 closed beta has just been announced, giving players a first early hands-on with how everything has changed in the latest game. Tekken 8 is due to release sooner than it seems, so far, we’ve not learnt too much about the game. At least compared to some other hotly anticipated upcoming fighting games. That’s set to change soon. A first Tekken 8 Closed Beta is going to be opening up, and this is how you can get inside it.
Tekken 8 Closed Beta
A Tekken 8 closed beta is going to start off next month! It’s going to open up in July. Players will need to sign up quickly if they want one of the limited slots. It’s a bit of a wider closed beta than other games get though. There are going to be 16 playable characters in the game, all of the Tekken characters that have been announced for the title already.
Closed betas like this can be difficult to get into. If you want a shot you’ll have to sign up through the official website. However, it’s a first come, first served beta. Only the early arrivals are going to get access here.
The closed beta will give you the chance to try out the game’s battle system, character moves, and for devs to test the network quality. It’ll be live in two separate periods at first. It starts on the 21st of July and runs through to the 24th. Then we’ve got a second round that starts on the 28th till the end of the month. The Tekken 8 cross beta will also feature cross-platform play. Everyone on PC and console can play together! Nice to see after Tekken 7 crossplay never came.
The big test with the Tekken 8 beta at first is just going to be getting in! You’ll need some decent speed to get in, along with a fair bit of luck!
