Tekken 8 bi trebao izaći tek iduće godine, no količina trailera i gameplay videa te veliki broj zatvorenih testiranja igre ponukalo je fanove da maštaju o izlasku igre ove godine.

Neki su toliko postali nestrpljivi da ispituju producenta igre Katsuhira Haradu kada bi mogla krenuti otvorena beta Tekkena 8. Harada je na Twitteru odgovorio kako je igra još u fazi zatvorneoga alpha testiranja na svakom većem gaming eventu, te moli za strpljenje vezano uz betu.

We are still only doing closed alpha testing at each event, so please wait for the beta. https://t.co/lvmkZjDImX

Harada je bio toliko dobre volje za blagdane da je odgovorio konkretnije na još neka pitanja. Tako je na Twitteru potvrdio da će igra podržavati rollback netcode, dosta bitan aspekt online igranja fighting igara, te je potvrdio da će biti mogući crossplay, tj. multiplatformsko igranje online.

already installed it, and it already has what you want. The reason WHY we don't make big announcements like cross-play is Cuz even if we make big announcements, people like you will only say things like, "waaaa! That's normal in this day and age."
So shut up & sit the hell down. https://t.co/ZA1ZKMV9gC

Crossplay? Of course I will.
BTW
When the previous generation consoles were released, I had already proposed crossplay between the two platformers. However, at that time, they were at odds with each other over their mutual interests (and P2P security issue) & repeatedly refused. https://t.co/I8b38YfePh
