Tekken 8 Fans Demand Mike Tyson’s Knockout Entry
Tekken fans are throwing punches of excitement, begging the developers of Tekken 8 to add legendary boxer Mike Tyson to the game. These fans envision Tyson’s moves to be inspired by none other than Steve Fox, the undisputed boxing champ from Tekken 7.
In Tekken 8, the story picks up after the demise of Heihachi Mishima in Tekken 7. Kazuya Mishima, the head honcho of G Corporation, continues his reign of terror, with Jin Kazama fiercely determined to take him down once and for all. Finally, Jun Kazama, Jin’s mother, makes her highly anticipated return as a playable character, marking her first appearance since Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Alongside her, long-time favorites like Nina Williams, Hwoarang, Marshall Law, and Paul Phoenix join the fray.
Speaking of knockouts, Mike Tyson made a splash at the San Diego Comic-Con 2023 as a panelist for the official Tekken 8 session. This revelation lit a fire in the hearts of Tekken fans, igniting their desire to see Tyson duke it out in the virtual ring. With speculation running wild, players theorize that Tyson could potentially be a rival to Steve Fox, adding another layer of thrill to the game. The buzz amplified even more when a fan created an AI-generated rendering of Tyson as a Tekken 8 fighter, further fueling the community’s fervor.
At Comic-Con, Tyson stood alongside an illustrious lineup of panelists, including MMA fighter Cris Cyborg, WWE superstar Xavier Woods, Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada, and producer Michael Murray. Sharing personal stories from their illustrious careers and discussing the fusion of fighting culture and gaming, the panelists added to the electric atmosphere.
The Mike Tyson frenzy is a knockout win for Tekken 8, as it attracts more gamers eager to see what Bandai Namco’s new offering will bring to the table. With Negan’s unforgettable appearance in Tekken 7, it seems that the developers are open to incorporating real-world celebrities and actors in their games, amplifying the excitement surrounding Tyson’s potential inclusion. However, fans should temper their expectations regarding guest characters, as nothing has been officially confirmed for Tekken 8 just yet.

While fans eagerly await further character reveals, it’s worth noting that the Tekken 8 team might address the long-standing requests for beloved characters that were left out of the DLC for Tekken 7.

As the hype train gains even more steam, players recently got a taste of Claudio Serafino in Tekken 8, with a limited-time opportunity to try him out during the closed network test.
Prepare to enter the ring as Tekken 8 takes shape for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, promising an adrenaline-fueled brawler that will leave you gasping for more.
