Tekken 8 Season 3 Gameplay Balance Goes ‘Back to Basics’ as Kunimitsu, Bob, and Roger Return

Season 3 for Tekken 8 has been formally introduced, and Bandai Namco desires it to be a “recent begin” for the fighter.

As you might already know, the sport’s massive Season 2 replace — which launched within the spring of final yr — made controversial modifications to the sport’s steadiness, buffing methods and mechanics that some gamers felt had been already overtuned.

A few of these changes have been reworked since, however the normal sentiment is that Tekken 8 wants a little bit of a reset — and it sounds prefer it’s getting one.

We do not have the small print but, however the developer’s promising a “again to fundamentals” strategy, with a refocus on extra “deliberate” gameplay.

We would not be stunned to see combo size be shortened, for instance, and aggressive play to be scaled again in order that the title higher resembles previous Tekken video games.

The Season 3 replace will launch on sixteenth / seventeenth March (relying in your timezone).

And naturally, Season 3 will deliver its personal set of latest DLC characters. Three of them have been revealed proper off the bat, and so they’re all returning favourites:

• Kunimitsu – releases late spring
• Bob – releases summer time
• Roger Jr. – releases autumn / fall

A fourth character may even be included — whose id stays a thriller for now — and so they’re launching in winter.
