Tekken 8 is set to undergo a series of extensive updates in its next patch to resolve critical gameplay concerns. These updates are geared towards rectifying a range of issues impacting Tekken 8 gameplay, such as animation distance, hitboxes, move sets, and character balance adjustments.

Tekken 8 marks the latest installment in the renowned Tekken fighting game franchise, serving as a direct sequel to Tekken 7 released over nine years ago. With an initial roster of 32 playable characters, including familiar faces from past titles, Tekken 8 impresses both veteran enthusiasts and newcomers with its technical prowess and stunning graphics. Nonetheless, online gameplay has been plagued by issues, prompting developers to address these concerns promptly.

The Tekken 8 development team took to their official TEKKEN_project Twitter account to announce their focus on resolving six key issues affecting the game through an imminent update. Engaging closely with the game's community, developers elaborated on the rationale behind introducing an in-game item shop in Tekken 8. Despite its recent release, Tekken 8 has already received multiple updates and balance tweaks, with a fresh wave of fixes currently in the pipeline.

These forthcoming updates aim to elevate the already impressive gameplay of Tekken 8 to greater heights. Core improvements will address issues like the back dash mechanic, collision detection, hitboxes, and modifications to the renowned character Eddy Gordo, part of Tekken 8's Playable Character Year 1 Pass. Patch 1.03.01 will tackle six primary issues related to unintended character behaviors.

The development team is determined to enrich the gameplay experience of Tekken 8 through the forthcoming patch. Additionally, Tekken 8 will introduce its own battle pass system, a common feature in online multiplayer games. However, the decision to monetize further, with the game already priced at $70, has drawn criticism from fans. The battle pass will offer both free and paid versions, each featuring exclusive limited-time items, signaling a significant shift in the series' approach, which has sparked discontent among many enthusiasts.
