While Tekken 8 already features a Season Pass and an in-game store, it seems that’s not enough for Bandai Namco, as Tekken 8 will now also have its own Battle Pass called the “Tekken Fight Pass.”

This was revealed by the developers in the latest Tekken Talk stream, where the studio talked about the pass among other things. Based on what was shown the Tekken Fight Pass will feature new cosmetic items.

“Tekken Fight Pass” – During the specified period, players can increase their level by completing daily and weekly missions in online matches, allowing them to obtain various items.

The price of the Tekken 8 Battle Pass wasn’t disclosed, though we wouldn’t be surprised if it’s priced at $10, which is the common price for Battle Passes in games these days.

Needles to say, the fact that the game is priced at $70 on retail, and there’s already a Season Pass for the character DLCs (priced at $30), and an in-game store that sells cosmetic items, the community wasn’t really thrilled at Bandai Namco offering yet another way to spend money on the game.

A f2p model in a full priced game is beyond scummy.

Regardless of pricing, you must admit WAITING to tell about MTX and Battle Pass is scummy.

Expect the Tekken Fight Pass to make its debut this coming week, though we aren’t sure what the specific rewards will be.

Outside of the Battle Pass, the dev team also revealed gameplay footage of Eddy Gordo, who’s set to make his debut this coming week! Alongside that, we also got the complete patch notes for the update set to be released on April 2.
