Tekken 8 is almost here

Tekken 8 is set to release worldwide on January 26. Of course, depending on the timezone, some regions will get access to it earlier than others.

Sadly, Bandai Namco hasn't given fans an official release time per region, meaning that all we can assume at the time of writing is that Tekken 8 will be unlocked when the clock strikes midnight on January 25 in each region.
