Bandai Namco Entertainment has released the latest Tekken 8 update, which brings support for the fourth and final Season 1 DLC character, Clive Rosfield. In addition, the studio has also implemented a penalty for players who disconnect from a match, which now deduct Ranked Points if you pull the plug. There’s also a couple of behaviour adjustments for characters including Bryan and Paul, but there won’t be any major balance changes to the game until Season 2 gets underway in 2025. You can read the full details in the Tekken 8 update 1.10.01 patch notes below.
Tekken 8 was released for the PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S in January 2024, and continues the rivalry between Kazuya Mishima and his son, Jin Kazama. The game introduces new mechanics including the Heat system, allowing fighters to enter a powered-up state once per round, giving them access to new attacks and inflicting chip damage.
