Bandai Namco’s Chief Producer, Katsuhiro Harada, and Game Director, Kohei Ikeda, unveiled an exciting addition to the highly anticipated Tekken 8 Story Mode at the Tokyo Game Show 2023. The first four minutes of gameplay showcased the introduction of quick time events (QTE), promising to elevate the game’s storytelling and presentation.
QTEs are interactive sequences in video games that require players to respond to on-screen cues within a limited time frame. By pressing specific buttons or executing precise actions, players can progress through the game’s story and impact the narrative, character interactions, and overall success.
This marks the first time the Tekken franchise incorporates QTEs, breathing new life into the series and providing players with a more immersive narrative experience.
Tekken 8’s story picks up six months after the dramatic events of Tekken 7, setting the stage for an epic battle between Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama, a father-son duo. The showcased footage at the Tokyo Game Show 2023 offered a tantalizing glimpse of this intense conflict, leaving fans eager to uncover the full extent of the story’s twists and turns.
Harada-san assured fans that the presented footage was only a fraction of the overall story, promising more excitement and enjoyment once the final product is released.
