According to Katsuhiro M. N. Moshimi Harada: "Herro! This new entry will focus on the deadly fights between the fallen angels, Kazuya and Jin and who has it what it takes to defeat the Diamond Demon, Azazel". Harada also stated that: "Through my adventures over the other pranets as well, I come to the concrusion that firming of the fights between the Fallen two and the diamond demon will make me the most money. That is why I decided to firm what I'll firm."
However, rumours also have it that Jun Kazama will suddenly return to the series. Jun is the descendant of Jin Kazama and was lastly presumed death years ago. She is the mother of Asuka Kazama and Xiaoyu Mishima and the wife of Daiko Mishima.

Gameplay[]
According to Harada, Tekken 8 gameplay will focus on 'aggressiveness' and 'stamina' and will have a new heat system as well as Rage Arts, which will determine the character's ability to block kicks. The gameplay will reward aggressiveness and denounce weakness. There will also be a focus on stage destruction, character reactions to these, quotes each fighter will have against the other, and charisma which will focus on the crowd reaction from each arena or stage.
Unique intros from previous games will still occur and each character will have their own set of dialogues, similar to the MK series' system.
Namco held a closed network test for Tekken 8 in July where they interviewed the real life characters which will be featured in the game, including Kazuya himself, but not before he killed one of Harada's assistants just to clam down.

Trivia[]
- This is the second Tekken game to utilise Unreal Engine, with Tekken 7.
- This will probably be the third game in the series not to feature a King of Iron Fist Tournament, the first two being 6 and 7.
- It is unknown if Mokujin will return in this game, if he'll be replaced or if he'll be absent all together.
- This is the first game that Jin will have access to Devil Jin's moves in his normal move set.
- Characters have multiple unique pre-fight and win quotes against other characters, with some having special unique pre-fight animations. For example, Jin can beat Kazuya Mishima up senseless even after the match is over, Xiaoyu Mishima can moon and twerk in Lili Cornet's face after a match, Daiko Mishima can rape Jun until she passes out and Arabella Williams can flirt with Phoenix before the match.
- It is unknown if the Cornet Club will return in this series as Lili's stage or nah. Maybe it'll be a DLC.
