Bandai Namco Entertainment’s Tekken series is one of the first franchises that comes to mind when most gamers think of the fighting game genre. Debuting in arcades in 1994, Tekken helped put 3D fighting games on the map with its stylish characters, comedy, groundbreaking gameplay, and polygonal graphics. These accomplishments would continue throughout the series and keep it at the forefront of the genre well past the arcade era. Tekken’s success continued in the console market as the iconic franchise debuted on the PlayStation, and the series and the system evolved side by side. Each installment pushed new console limitations, making every entry a prime showcase of each PlayStation. With Tekken 8’s release on the horizon, it’s time for another collision between The King of Iron Fist Tournament and PlayStation. Let’s take a look at how the series has evolved and become so intertwined with each console. Tekken: Iron-fisted beginnings Tekken | U.S. Release 1995 | PlayStation After a successful arcade run, Tekken made its console debut on the original PlayStation. Releasing two months after the console’s launch, Tekken immediately mirrored its initial success in the home console realm. The groundwork for the rest of the series is instantly recognizable here. The focus on pushing hardware limits by featuring detailed graphics and 60 frames-per-second made it a must-play title with an easy-to-learn yet hard-to-master control scheme of two punch buttons and two kicks that the series still features made the game an instant competitive and party hit for homes everywhere. And who can forget the roster of more than memorable fighters that the PlayStation experience made even more notable? It featured full-motion video cutscenes, and players could unlock sub-bosses like Armor King and the final boss, Heihachi, as playable characters. Even after a year-long arcade run, Tekken garnered just as much praise on consoles, making it an easy choice for Bandai Namco Entertainment to continue the series for years to come. Tekken 2: Refining the formula Tekken 2 | U.S. Release 1996 | PlayStation Tekken 2 hit arcades in 1995 and came home to PlayStation consoles once more in 1996. While the original set the basis for the series, this sequel’s additions make it immediately more recognizable to fans. Players were greeted with a jump from 17 to 25 playable characters, including newcomers like Bruce, Roger, and Jun Kazama. Many of these characters came equipped with new battle mechanics like unique sidesteps, chain-throws, backthrows, and special reversal attacks. There was also the addition of new staple modes like Time Attack, Team Battle, Survival, and Practice mode. These features took Tekken to new heights, making Tekken 2 one of the highest-sold PlayStation titles. This title also marked the beginning of Kazuya’s reign as the villain of the series, and its ending teased Jin’s future as its protagonist. Tekken 3: A more familiar face Tekken 3 | U.S. Release 1998 | PlayStation Tekken returned with another PlayStation hit in Tekken 3. Staple characters like Jin, Eddy Gordo, Xiaoyu, Bryan Fury, Hwoarang, Law, and Julia joined the roster. The largest addition here came in the form of changes to movement, such as shortened jumping heights. Side throws and sidesteps were also added, along with moves that can be performed during a sidestep. Several fighters were given access to reversals, and certain characters were granted combo throws. This brought Tekken a lot closer to the title we see now. As with Tekken 2, the PlayStation version added exclusive modes, making Tekken 3 the debut of the beat-em-up minigame Tekken Force, and the volleyball-esque Tekken Ball. Tekken Tag Tournament: 2-on-2 goodness Tekken Tag Tournament | U.S. Release 2000 | PlayStation 2 Tekken made its PlayStation 2 debut with the first entry of the spin-off series Tekken Tag Tournament. This time around, fighters would challenge one another as a duo. Now, with the press of a button, players can switch between their two characters, each with various hidden attributes depending on the pairing of the characters, making tag combos, throws, and different tactics possible. But once one character on either team is defeated, the match is over. The PlayStation 2 version implemented upgraded graphics over the arcade version and even more modes. At home, players gained the ability to play a classic 1-vs-1 mode, a team battle with up to eight matches to decide the victor and the debut of the bowling minigame Tekken Bowl. Tekken 4: A dynamic reintroduction Tekken 4 | U.S. Release 2002 | PlayStation 2 Tekken returned to its mainline series with Tekken 4, introducing some of the grandest changes to the formula since the beginning. The game became darker than before, reviving a once-dead Kazuya. This was aided by an upgraded graphics engine that dynamically affected lighting, surfaces, and physics. And who can forget that banger soundtrack? Players could suddenly move even before a round began, and the environment was given more importance. The introduction of walled stages allowed for extended and more damaging combos. This prompted the debut of corner escapes to allow for comebacks. Once again, the PlayStation version included Tekken Force and a new Story Mode featuring cutscenes. Tekken 5: Modern movement Tekken 5 | U.S. Release 2005 | PlayStation 2 Whereas Tekken 4 emphasizes varying environments, Tekken 5 tones things down slightly. Uneven stage ground was removed to make movement smoother and faster. However, the character count is another story with 32 characters in the base roster, including Devil Jin’s debut. The title also introduces the high crush, and low crush attack moves that the game is known for. For the first time, fighters could be customized with different outfits, colors, and additional items gained with in-game currency. The new PlayStation-exclusive mode is Devil Within, a new take on Tekken Force where players control Jin as he travels through maze-like stages with the ability to become Devil Jin. Tekken 6: Taking the battle online Tekken 6 | U.S. Release 2009 | PlayStation 3 Tekken 6 introduced the series to the PlayStation 3, keeping most of the franchise’s previous elements and adding things like the Rage system. This allowed players to do more damage as their health decreased. Stage dynamics were also brought back to the forefront, allowing walls to be knocked down and opening levels up to more environments. Bound attacks were also added, giving fighters a new move that knocks enemies to the ground, bouncing them back up, and leaving them vulnerable to follow-up combos. Once more, a beat-em-up mode called Scenario Campaign was exclusive to console versions. The biggest addition came in the form of online matches, making long-distance battles and co-op Scenario Campaign experiences possible for the first time. Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Return to tag Tekken Tag Tournament 2 | U.S. Release 2012 | PlayStation 3 Tekken followed up its original spin-off with Tag Tournament 2, which keeps most of the original rules but with a few upgrades. Extended tag combos are now achievable, and combos where both characters simultaneously attack the opponent are called Tag Assaults, which introduced new strategies. Additional modes that made matches 1-on-1, 2-on-2, or 1-on-2 and allowed four different players to control each fighter added more variety to the mix. Characters’ health and power were scaled accordingly to the match type. This also marks the first time Tekken added more learning tools like a tutorial mode, Fight Lab. Tekken 7: New heights Tekken 7 | U.S. Release 2017 | PlayStation 4 Tekken made its presence known on the PlayStation 4 in a big way. New mechanics were added to make the offense more dangerous than ever. Rage Arts brought cinematic super attacks to the world of Tekken. Power Crushes gave players the ability to absorb a hit of a low or high attack, continuing the offensive even when opposed. Rage Drives added more decisions to be made, as players could instead use Rage to gain a powered-up version of a specific move. Play Video The most notable piece of Tekken 7’s history is the addition of several guest fighters, including The Walking Dead’s Negan, Final Fantasy XV’s Noctis, SNK’s Geese Howard, and Street Fighter’s Akuma. Tekken 8: The future of iron fist Tekken 8 | U.S. Release 2024 | PlayStation 5 Now we all await Tekken 8, the first title of the series to skip arcades and have its initial launch on PlayStation consoles. This title begins where Tekken 7 left off, focusing heavily on the wild offensive. The new Heat System gives fighters access to chip damage, more attacks, guard breaks, and even dash cancellable moves. Play Video Along with these changes comes another upgrade to the graphics engine with the implementation of Unreal Engine 5. This gives Tekken 8 an even more dynamic look and physics than titles of the past. Tekken 8 will continue the legacy when it releases for PS5 on January 26. View the full article

Generous rewards and new outfits for the new year The Lantern Rite will once again light up Liyue Harbor soon to celebrate the new year in Teyvat, with its new theme: kites! These can take multiple shapes and patterns, and even include Fontainian mechanisms that allow people’s hopes to be carried far and wide for the year to come. By participating in the event’s mini-games, you will also earn Festive Fever which will allow you to obtain various rewards, including Xingqiu’s new free outfit.

Using her adepti powers and mechanical inventions, she can leap into the air and dash forward two more times, or heal nearby characters and enhance their jump height and Plunging Attacks. Gaming, a new 4-star Pyro Claymore wielder will also appear. He is an enthusiast of Wushou dancing, an art inspired by traditional lion dance, which incorporates movements from this dance into his combat style. In Version 4.4 Event Wishes, Xianyun and Gaming both debut along with Nahida’s rerun in the first half of the version, while the latter half will see the reruns of Xiao and Yae Miko. Mountains stand tall, with jade beneath Northwest of the bustling Liyue Harbor, Travelers will discover Chenyu Vale, a stunning new area with beautiful towering mountains and tranquil rivers. In this area, you will find important human settlements such as Qiaoying Village and Yilong Wharf, as well as mist-shrouded mountains where tales of adepti await. The name of Chenyu Vale, meaning where jade descends, comes from a legend of an adeptus who threw a pair of jade bracelets into the waters to protect the locals from a flood. As this auspicious story is passed down through generations, the local people and businesses also flourish. The impressive Yilong Wharf, known for its majestic water elevators, serves as a vital link for commerce between Liyue and Fontaine. Another human settlement, Qiaoying Village, has long been known for tea production, which involves a roasting method created by the adepti. But most of Chenyu Valley belongs to the wild hills, valleys, waterfalls and tales of the adepti. Legendary beasts also reside here, including the new boss enemy, the Solitary Suanni. As you delve into the mountains and winding paths, the history of this land will reveal itself. A valley created with new technology Being a part of Liyue, Chenyu Vale is also inspired by a traditional oriental aesthetic. To render its hills, valleys, and waterfalls in the distance and near with enveloping clouds and mist in a style similar to shan shui painting, we deployed two new technologies: Global Far Fog (GFF) and Gradient Tint Rock on PlayStation and PC, as well as a simplified version on mobile. Clouds and mist are constantly present in Chenyu Vale, and the Global Far Fog (GFF) feature allows you to better observe how they take on different forms around the rolling hills. By taking into account height, terrain, and other conditions, the developers were able to allow Volumetric Fog to change in density and direction as it passes through different locations. For example, thick clouds converge in low, narrow areas of the valley, while light mist lingers around the cape of the mountains or open areas. Inspired by shan shui, a traditional painting style, and ink wash techniques, Gradient Tint Rock technology is a new tool that our artists and developers created to portray different parts of the lofty mountains through transitions between three colors: cyan, green, and tan. By creating various distance fields in 3D and customizing them for each mountain, it is possible to see a different color gradient depending on the altitude, distance, textural characteristics of the rocks, and structure of each mountain. For example, the leafy parts, the summit and the ubac will appear in dark cyan and green, while the barren paths and the lower parts can gradually integrate into a lighter earthy tan, hence the name of the technique: Gradient Tint Rock. We highly recommend exploring the peak of Mt. Lingmeng or Mt. Mingyuan, from where you can enjoy panoramic views of Chenyu Vale. With Global Far Fog and Gradient Tint Rock, we want to offer you an even more intense and visually impressive experience during your exploration journey. Last but not least, we’d like to extend our thanks to everyone who has joined us on our journey in Teyvat. We hope you enjoy the Lantern Rite celebrations and the compelling new adventures in Chenyu Vale. Wishing you a fantastic new year, and looking forward to seeing you next time! View the full article
