Can Season 3 save Tekken 8? Pros give their thoughts

2026 is a big year for the Fighting Game Community with all the titles releasing, and it promises to be a decisive year for Tekken 8. While it launched relatively well, Tekken 8 had problems with being too heavily skewed to aggression and lacking defensive options.

This only got worse as the game continued to chug on, but Bandai Namco has revealed its plans for Tekken 8 Season 3. Coming with the intention to put Tekken back on track, it has been billed as ‘back to basics’.

The changes have been listed in detail in a Tekken 8 Season 3 roadmap overview in the news section of the game’s website, and it seems largely positive.
