The two million-selling Tekken 8 has opened its premium in-game shop, sparking a vociferous debate within the fighting game’s community.
The Tekken Shop, which launches with Uniqlo-branded items, lets you buy customisations such as legacy character costumes and avatar skins of specific characters. Publisher Bandai Namco has said new content will be added to the shop monthly.
The Tekken Shop includes both free and paid items, and it’s the paid items that are ruffling feathers. Paid items are bought with Tekken Coins, a virtual currency paid for with real-world money spent in each platforms’ store.
