The gaming world continues to witness remarkable milestones, particularly with the latest entries in beloved series. Among these, Tekken 8 has made a significant mark in a short span, showcasing its popularity and player engagement.

Tekken 8 has achieved the impressive feat of selling three million copies in a shorter timeframe than its predecessor, Tekken 7, which was a monumental hit for Bandai Namco. Notably, Tekken 7 reached sales of over 12 million units since its 2015 launch. With the release of Tekken 8, fans were excited to discover how this latest edition would perform in comparison.

As revealed during a recent episode of Tekken Talk Live, this latest title has surpassed the three million sales mark just one year after its launch, outpacing Tekken 7, which took nearly a year and six months to attain the same figure.

This remarkable achievement serves as proof of the game’s quality and reception in the gaming community. Players are optimistic about the future, anticipating the introduction of new characters, additional guest appearances, and the possibility of innovative game modes. One of the upcoming characters, Anna Williams, is set to join the roster on April 3, and there is excitement surrounding the potential return of other fan-favorites, including Bob and a special appearance by Ichiban Kasuga from the Yakuza series.
