In addition to Clive Rosfield, the new battle stage PHOENIX GATE is also introduced in TEKKEN 8, a pivotal location from FINAL FANTASY XVI where tragic events reshaped the destiny of the game’s main character.

Developed by Bandai Namco Studios Inc., the newest sequel in the legendary fighting game franchise is one of the highest rated in the series and pushes the envelope for the genre. The game takes full advantage of the power of Unreal Engine®5 to create one of the most visually stunning and immersive fighting games ever made, introducing all-new game play modes and features including a new “Aggressive” combat system, completely remodeled characters, and destructible environments. It also continues the epic saga of the Kazama-Mishima feud in the franchise’s renowned Story Mode, now focused on the rivalry pitting Jin Kazama against his father Kazuya Mishima and bringing back legendary and previously “completely dead” characters Heihachi Mishima and Jun Kazama.
