The Tekken World Tour just concluded for last year, but we’ve only got a month before it starts back up all over again! New details have been announced about the Tekken World Tour 2023, along with a decent look at what’s coming soon with the next game.
TWT is coming back in 2023, with a wider range of tournaments that are going to be more accessible than ever. This year is bringing the game back closer to its pre-pandemic roots, with more offline events. The Tekken World Tour 2023 is going to be our last event for Tekken 7 by the looks of the recent reveal it’s going out on a high note.
The Tekken World Tour is making a return in 2023, this time it’s going to be returning to its offline roots. The event is eliminating the online qualifiers, with every week being live and in-person! The Dojos, Challenger, and Master tournaments will all contribute points to the ongoing roster. This new event is coming hot on the heels of the Red bull Golden Letters Tekken LAN, so there are a lot of Tekken tournaments taking place right now.
The Tekken World Tour 2023 will be an ongoing series where individual events contribute points to an overall ranking, before the eventual final and showdown between the top players. Challenger events are coming back which are community tournaments that get empowered to award Tekken World Tour points. Dojo events allow up-and-coming tournaments to register to become part of the official series of events too. Master events provide the most points, followed by Challengers. Dojos provide points based on how many competitors entered.
While online events are going away, organizers are keeping the game open to players from areas with fewer tournaments. The region lock will be removed from all competitors! Anyone can attend a tournament and compete in any region. All events in the circuit will also be streamed this year! Fans will have an easier time following along from home.
The Tekken World Tour 2023 will be getting started officially with EVO Japan. That’s taking place in only a month, during March. We’re only actually going to have a short burst of downtime between the last major Tekken event and the new World Tour starting. In terms of the full schedule, we don’t yet have all the details. We’ll likely find out which events are part of the World Tour as tournaments announce the games featured. We do know that April’s The Mixup is going to be included though. We’ll be seeing more Challenger and Master events.
The Tekken World Tour 2023 is going to be the final outing for Tekken 7. With Tekken 8’s release getting closer and closer, we can expect players to be in their best form trying to take the title for this final year.
The Tekken World Tour 2023 might our last one for Tekken 7, but players can start to see more of what’s coming next right now. There’s been a new gameplay reveal for Tekken 8! Coming off our last few teasers, we’ve started getting fuller details of new mechanics and characters. We’ve got our first look at Nina Williams and how the character will play in the new game. That’s along with details of a new closed alpha.
Nina Williams has been a part of the game since the very first instalment. She’ll be featured in Tekken 8 with a. new look and updated move set. She’s using a mixture of melee attacks and handguns in-game. The reveal also shows off Tekken’s new Heat mechanic and stage destruction.
Alongside the new gameplay, we’ve gotten some details on when players will be able to test out the game physically. A closed Alpha test is being conducted at various events. These will see players test out the game so far and gather data to refine the gameplay and balance. This is going to start at EVO Japan, where the game will be playable. After this, we might eventually get a wider open beta further down the line.
Between an upcoming closed alpha and the Tekken World Tour 2023 changes, there’s a lot going on with this fighting game right now.
