Patch notes for Tekken 8 v1.04 have been released. Server maintenance to implement this patch has been scheduled to begin on May 7 at 5:00 p.m. PT / 8:00 p.m. ET.
Adjustments are being made for Alisa, Asuka, Azucena, Bryan, Claudio, Devil Jin, Dragunov, Eddy, Feng, Hwoarang, JACK-8, Jin, Jun, Kazuya, king, Kuma, Panda, Lars, Law, Lee, Leo, Leroy, Lili, Paul, Raven, Reina, Steve, Shaheen, Xiaoyu, Yoshimitsu, and Zafina.
A note has been left that tells us about the direction of this patch as well as the next patch, version 1.05. Indeed, it’s been confirmed that the Tekken 8 developers are already working on the v1.05 balance update that will be released in the month of June.
This upcoming patch is intended to address characters that aren’t able to fully exhibit unique characteristics and strengths in Tekken 8. Additionally, characters disproportionately strong moves or high combo damage are being toned down. Finally, situations in which one player is able to dominate the offensive so that it’s too difficult to utilize defensive techniques are being looked at.
Some of the characters are only receiving bug fixes for the time being. However, it’s noted that changes for Victor, Lili, King, Paul and Yoshimitsu are already being planned for June version 1.05 update.
