Tekken 8 was announced earlier in the year and got its first proper gameplay showing at The Game Awards, so clearly, series fans have plenty to be excited about in the near future. That said, Tekken 7 is still going strong, nearly eight years on from its launch, and continues to sell well even now.
Series director Katsuhiro Harada recently took to Twitter and announced that Bandai Namco’s fighter has now sold over 10 million copies worldwide, up from the 9 million figure reported in June. Additionally, the Tekken franchise’s total sales have now exceeded 54 million units worldwide, which is up from 53 million units.
Tekken 8’s recent gameplay showing focused primarily on the game’s story, while also featuring several familiar characters, including the likes of Kazuya Mishima, Jun Kazama, Law, Lars, Paul, King, and Jack-8. The game is being developed for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC using Unreal Engine 5. Bandai Namco has said that it could potentially launch in 2023.
