Tekken 8’s Season 2 update hasn’t exactly been well received by the playerbase as a whole, and the developers are going to try and amend that very soon.
Bandai Namco will be releasing an emergency balance update for Tekken 8 later tonight, April 16, but first the game will have to go through some server maintenance first.
The server maintenance is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. PT / 9:30 p.m. ET, which is the same time the patch notes are supposed to release.
It should last for approximately two hours, so servers should come back around 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET.
Tekken’s Version 2.00.02 update should be available to download around 7 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. ET.
During this downtime, all online features will remain unavailable including matchmaking, the in-game store, lobbies and more.
Bamco has already laid out some of what they plan to change in the new patch to bolster their unpopular update that saw Tekken 8’s Steam reviews drop to “Overwhelmingly Negative” upon release at the start of the month.
They’re increasing the max health of characters for starters as well as adjusting overly high-reward moves for some characters, but that’s not all.
Another update is planned for mid-May to further hopefully improve the game with more balance changes.
Stay tuned for more updates and the patch notes for Tekken 8 once they become available.
