You remember that? Imagine Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6.

The Tekken community is now left wondering what's in store for the fighting game franchise.
Darren WadeHOST
Just last week, Bandai Namco delighted fans by announcing Yojiro Hanma from the Bankai Manga, an anime franchise, as the guest character of the Tekken 8 Season 3 Pass, which ends early 2027 with his arrival.
