Tekken 8 Registration Numbers Take a Nosedive at Evo Japan – What Happened?
Surprisingly low, Evo Japan 2023 saw only 995 players for Tekken 8, a significant decline from the 1244 participants in the previous year. This drop represents approximately a 20% decrease, sparking worries about the game’s position within the competitive gaming sphere. One user commented, “The disparity was already substantial; it’s just wider now,” suggesting that Tekken 8 isn’t merely experiencing a minor setback—it’s part of a broader trend where fighting games appear to be losing their player base. In contrast, games like Street Fighter 6 saw a notable 30% increase during the same timeframe. This data should send a shiver down the spines of Tekken fans everywhere.
