The fighting game Tekken 8 turns out to be a huge success for Bandai Namco. Accordingly, the studio is planning some updates and opportunities to make even more money with the title. Now there are concrete plans for monetization.
In the fighting game genre, Tekken is one of the gray eminences. With the recently released Tekken 8, Bandai Namco once again cemented its legendary status, as our tester Sascha explains in his review. The launch was correspondingly successful and now the plans for the future have been announced.

The in-game shop, which has already been confirmed in advance, should not be long in coming. During a “Tekken Talk Live” presentation, the studio stated that the corresponding update will be released at the end of February or beginning of March. The Tekken Shop offers free and paid content once or twice a month, the first of which is also certain: a collaboration with clothing manufacturer Uniqlo, the package includes avatar and character shirts.
You can purchase the new content with Tekken Coins, the exact conversion into dollars or US dollars is currently missing. But we know that a costume will cost 400 coins.
There have also been some updates to the story mode and these should please all of you who don’t want to invest any more money after buying the game. Because each DLC character will expand the story mode and even if the whipping boys and girls have to be purchased, all players will receive the content. First up is series veteran Eddy Gordo. There is currently no exact date, it is only said that it will find its way into Tekken 8 in the spring.
