How long is the Tekken 8 story mode

Expect Tekken 8’s campaign to take 5 hours to beat. While it may not sound like much, chapters in Tekken 8 can reward you with unique items if you tackle them at higher difficulties. The final battle even has two endings depending on your performance. End the main father-son battle and you can continue working your way through Arcade Quest or dive right into multiplayer.

Despite older games like Tekken 7 were even shorter at 3.5 hours, the latest entry is smaller than the 7.5-hour runtime of Tekken 6. Comparing it to how long Mortal Kombat 1 is won’t make sense but its 6-hour campaign isn’t significantly larger either. However, Street Fighter 6 eclipses them all with a 20-hour campaign.

Story mode is just the beginning in Tekken 8

Its expansive multiplayer mode is the real draw. And with an array of vibrant characters, each with their elaborate combo systems, expect mastering them to take hours and hours.

That covers the length of Tekken 8. Check if Tekken 8 is on Game Pass and if Tekken 8 is heading to the Nintendo Switch. Now get your combos in order and start the multiplayer climb!
