As the main protagonist ofFinal Fantasy 16, Clive is the fourth DLC fighter inTekken 8’s Year 1 Pass. Clive was revealed asTekken 8’s latest challenger during the 2024 edition of The Game Awards, where a trailer showed him facing off against Jin Kazama amid the flaming ruins of the Phoenix Gate. After the reveal,Tekken 8fans initiallycompared Clive toFinal Fantasy 15protagonist Noctis, who appeared inTekken 7as a DLC fighter. Clive and the Phoenix Gate stage were released in early access on December 16 for players who purchased the Playable Character Year 1 Pass. Both Clive and his stage will be released as a general access bundle on December 19.
Along withthe arrival of Clive inTekken 8, Patch 1.10.1 brought other features for players to enjoy. After connecting to the internet and downloadingTekken 8patch 1.10.1, players will notice a few changes upon starting the game. An updated photo mode has arrived inTekken 8, which allows players to add grime and moisture to character poses, and adjust expressions, gazes, and hand gestures mid-shot.Tekken 8’s photo mode update also allows frame-by-frame adjustments at 60 frames per second. Along with the photo mode changes, Patch 1.10.1 brought a new player search function that allows users to look up other players by name orTekkenID. Users can then follow up with options such as friend requests, or blocking and reporting them.
Tekken 8also introduced a new penalty system for ranked matches that will deduct ranking points from players who disconnect during a match. When points are reduced this way, a notification will appear in the main menu. Following up on pastTekken 8updates like Patch 1.08and 1.09, the 1.10.1 update included some adjustments to hitboxes and collision detection to address some unintended behaviors. Characters such as Heihachi, Paul, and Eddy benefited from Patch 1.10.1’s fixes, as some of their attacks would unintentionally whiff against opponents.
Although 2024 draws to a close, 2025 will alsobringTekken 8Season 2 into the fold. With other features planned, only time will tell what surprises Bandai Namco has in store forTekkenfans in the year ahead.
