The second round of the Tekken 8 Closed Network Test is now live for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S owners, and a recent datamine of the test has unearthed some previously unannounced characters for Bandai Namco Games‘ new fighter.
The findings come via Cheat Engine, which is a PC application that allows the user to manipulate games via various community-made scripts. The Tekken community Discord has revealed that using this app on the Closed Network Test allows players to see a number of characters yet to be revealed.

- Paul Phoenix

Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada recently said on Twitter that various aspects of Tekken 8 will be ‘heavily tuned’ before release, including chip damage and lengthy combos. He also made it clear that the game will feature a number of single-player modes, so hopefully that means we’ll see Team Battle or Tekken Force return.
Bandai Namco Entertainment has yet to announce a Tekken 8 release date.
