Tekken 8 comes out on Friday, January 26h, which is the first day of our main tournament games. In order for us to run Tekken 8 as a main game along with our other main games, it would require the 2 full days, and we would require at least a full day to prepare. In order to avoid a situation where things do not run smoothly for our attendees and our staff, we have made the decision that it would not be possible to run Tekken 8 as a main title on Friday and Saturday this time. However, we wanted to include it in the event in some way, since we know many Tekken players will be hungry to try it out for the first time. After our Tekken 7 main tournament concludes on Friday night, we will be replacing Tekken 7 setups with Tekken 8 setups so that players can enjoy using them to play casuals throughout the rest of the weekend. On Sunday, we will feature a Tekken 8 Preview Tournament bracket with limited capacity for players who will be sticking around on Sunday. The event will be streamed on main stage in our Grand Ballroom with awards for the top finishers. Between playing casuals and entering the open bracket on Sunday, we hope our attendees are able to get plenty of time with Tekken 8 throughout the weekend.
