As a long-time Tekken fan, I have to admit I was a bit surprised to hear about the introduction of a battle pass in Tekken 8. I’ve always loved the game for its focus on skill and strategy, so the idea of adding a battle pass felt a bit out of left field.

Let’s see how this all shakes out before passing judgment. Who knows, maybe it’ll add a fun new dimension to an already fantastic fighting game franchise.
