Tekken 8 Sales are Outpacing Tekken 7 (Updated)
Bandai Namco shares a new graphic for Tekken 8’s latest sales milestone on Twitter:
Original – February 15: According to a statement from Bandai Namco, Tekken 8 sold two million copies in under three weeks. This was unexpected for the studio, as it is stated to be “ahead of expenses for this fiscal year.” To put it into perspective, Tekken 7 sold two million copies in about four months, while it only took Tekken 8 three weeks. This is a big step for Tekken 8 and is a good sign for the game’s future.
Additionally, the studio mentioned that the game is well-received by fans. Our review of Tekken 8 discussed how the game is a giant step forward in the Tekken franchise. It excels as a fighting game with exceptional story mode, a strategic combat system, comprehensive tutorials, and enhanced online play. It offers a variety of modes for solo play and prioritizes inclusivity with accessibility features for colorblind players.
Bandai Namco expects sales for Tekken 8 to continue flourishing in the next fiscal year. This is because the studio is planning more content for the title’s future. Bandai Namco introduced a season pass earlier this year with future DLC characters like Eddy Gordo, which will help the game’s growth.
