Tekken 8 Closed Network Test Announced For July

Tekken 8 publisher Bandai Namco has announced that the game will be receiving a closed network test, starting on July 21. This slice of the game will be substantial, as eligible players will be able to choose from 16 characters on the game roster and battle one another in one of five stages.

“The aim of this network test is to evaluate the network’s quality as well as offering a high-end game experience with our new battle system and tactics; aerial combos; new gen graphics; and destructive and interactive stages to players,” Bandai Namco said.

The first closed network test will run from July 21-24 on PlayStation 5, and a second test will be held from July 28-31 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
