Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced that Feng Wei is returning in Tekken 8, with the fighting game sequel also set to receive a Closed Beta Test next month featuring 19 playable characters.
First up, let’s talk a bit about Feng. As the wielder of the ‘God Fist,’ Feng is a powerful fighter who first appeared in Tekken 5, where he killed his master in the game’s introduction sequence. He’s been on the hunt to make himself even more powerful ever since, and from the look of things, is just as formidable in Tekken 8 as previous entries. He also has unique dialogue with Leroy Smith, and a brand new Rage Art.
Check him out in action below.
Meanwhile, the Closed Beta Test will take place October 20 – 23, 2023, and has implemented a number of change since July’s CNT. Chief among these includes adjustments to the Heat system, reducing the lengthy combos that players were able to perform, as well as various balance changes. Furthermore, Azucena, Raven, and Feng will be addd to the roster of selectable fighters.
Tekkne 8 is scheduled for release on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S on January 26, 2024.
