Among these characters, there are quite a few improvements and novelties added to the universe of Tekken. We’ll have the chance to experience The Ortiz Farm, the origin stage of the Peruvian coffee queen Azucena. Players can also expect balance and system changes that enhance the game’s quality of life.
Tekken 8 Beta – New Changes to the Heat System Might Spice Things Up
It seems to be an excellent time for arcade-esque fighting game fans, with the release of Mortal Kombat 1 and building anticipation for Tekken 8. With each new release, Tekken developers tend to either introduce completely new mechanics and UI overhauls or rework familiar aspects of the game from previous entries.
One key feature Bandai Namco is working on in Tekken 8 is the Heat system. In the midst of action-packed combos, there may be a chance that a play might feel overwhelmed. If this happens, there will be new methods to have better control over their fighter and introduce newer methods. Such as the ‘Power Crush’ move property.

Similarly, many players feel the need to push their combos instead of sidestepping. This may be due to the Heat gauge, which doesn’t deplete no matter how many attacks are delivered or blocked. To improve this experience, the developers will better reward players for delving into newer ways of strategizing their moves.
Players can look forward to these new changes and improvements in the Beta Testing for Tekken 8, along with the addition of some spectacular characters and environments. What do you think about the new Tekken? Let us know in the comments.
