The New Tekken Project Should Be a Full Tekken Force Game

gamerant.com:

The fighting game genre is, like the very nature of the games themselves, fierce and competitive. Over the years, a couple of heavyweights have outfought the competition in order to rise to the top of the pile, and have remained there for the last few decades. Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are the oldest franchises to proudly sit at the top of the genre, with the former debuting in 1987 and the latter 1992. However, since its debut PS1 game was released in 1994, Tekken has stood toe to toe with them and for the most part, held its own. Following the release of 2017'sTekken 7 though, developer Bandai Namco has focused on DLC content and updates rather than a new installment.

This has left fans anxiously awaiting news of the next Tekken game for a couple of years now, and during EVO 2022, their prayers were finally answered when a brief trailer teased the possibility of Tekken 8. The eight-second footage showed Kazuya Mishima, one of the series protagonists, turning and smiling at the camera before the words 'Get Ready' appeared. His eye then turned red, showing a glimpse of the devil that lurks inside him, before the screen went blank. While the footage was brief, it has understandably gotten fans excited, with many wondering exactly what this could mean. Even though logical signs would point to Tekken 8 being in development, with no confirmation of this yet, there is room left to speculate on some other options. If this new project is not Tekken 8, then there is a case to be made for it to be a full-length Tekken Force game.
