Killer Instinct players have been continuing to truck on with the game without any substantial patches in years, but that’s about to change.
Iron Galaxy announced today the details of Killer Instinct Anniversary Edition and what changes are being made to the presumed last big update for the title during their anniversary stream.
On top of the balance updates, KI will be getting a new user interface to change the color scheme to purple and gold and even cooler, all new portraits on the character select screen.
Killer Instinct Definitive Edition will be retired and changed over to Anniversary Edition once that goes live as an upgrade to those who own the game.
Steam is finally getting a free to play version with this, but those looking to jump in will need to drop $30.
According to the developers, 10 out of the 29 characters will not be receiving substantial changes in the update with those being Sabrewulf, TJ Combo, Kan-Ra, Riptor, Hisako, Mira, Cinder, Shadow Jago, Arbiter, and Kilgore.
For the move to Anniversary Edition, all 29 of the playable roster will be included in the free to play rotation instead of the 21 it was previously.
The premium upgrade to Anniversary Edition will come with every fighter and their premium content plus a VIP double XP booster, specialty holiday accessories and apparently some more stuff.
On Steam, players will receive a permanent double XP booster as well as the Gargos Golden God and Agent Shroud colors.
As far as cross-platform play, it’ll remain the same as before. Xbox, Windows and Steam users can play together in custom lobbies, but Steam will still have separate ranked play.
Once the update goes live, users won’t be able to purchase individual content like characters anymore, as everything will be wrapped into the Anniversary Edition upgrade bundle.
Although the update was originally announced to be coming Fall 2023, they haven’t given a release date for Anniversary Edition yet.
Sam Altman finally returns as the CEO of OpenAI after nearly a week of uncertainty and chaos. From being ousted as the CEO of OpenAI to joining Microsoft to forming a new AI division, things have changed dramatically. So in this article, we have written a blow-by-blow account of everything that transpired from last week till now. We have included all the key people and their commentaries involved in the development. On that note, let’s jump to the timeline of events that transpired at the offices of OpenAI.
The Fall and Rise of Sam Altman
Note:
The timestamps below are in IST. Pacific Standard Time (PST) is 13.5 hours behind of India Standard Time (IST).
The dramatic development started with OpenAI’s official blog stating that Sam Altman has been fired and Mira Murati (OpenAI CTO) has been appointed as interim CEO to lead OpenAI.
The members of the board who signed Altman’s ouster included Adam D’Angelo (Quora CEO), Helen Toner (CSET AI Policy Research), Tasha McCauley (GeoSim CEO), and Ilya Sutskever (OpenAI Chief Scientist).
The board collectively said, “[Sam] was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.“
In addition, the OpenAI board also removed OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman from the position of chairman of the board but was kept in the company.
In about an hour, Sam Altman posted on X (formerly Twitter) saying goodbye to OpenAI and all hell broke loose. Altman didn’t give much information on what actually transpired behind his dismissal.
i loved my time at openai. it was transformative for me personally, and hopefully the world a little bit. most of all i loved working with such talented people.
After a few hours, Greg Brockman penned down his thoughts on OpenAI board’s decision on X and said “I quit” showing solidarity with Altman.
While everyone was trying to understand the situation, Greg Brockman chimed in and tweeted the details behind the development. Apparently, Sam was informed by Ilya Sutskever along with other board members, except Greg, that he is being fired from OpenAI over a Google Meet call.
Just after that, Greg was also told by Sutskever that he was being removed from the board but would be retained in the company.
Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today.
Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out.
We too are still trying to figure out exactly…— Greg Brockman (@gdb) November 18, 2023
The interim CEO, Mira Murati, only learned about the new role a night before the chaotic day. The management was informed after Sam’s ouster around the same time. According to the Bloomberg report, Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, which owns a 49% stake in OpenAI and has invested billions in the startup was blindsided by the board’s decision.
Satya Nadella, to assuage the sentiments of investors and customers, quickly turned to X (formerly Twitter) and posted, “We have a long-term agreement with OpenAI with full access to everything we need to deliver on our innovation agenda and an exciting product roadmap; and remain committed to our partnership, and to Mira and the team.”
As you saw at Microsoft Ignite this week, we’re continuing to rapidly innovate for this era of AI, with over 100 announcements across the full tech stack – from AI systems, models, and tools in Azure, to Copilot. Most importantly, we’re committed to delivering all of this to our…— Satya Nadella (@satyanadella) November 17, 2023
There was no mention of Sam Altman or Greg Brockman in the tweet.
Amid the chaos, The Information reported that Emmet Shear, the co-founder and former CEO of Twitch, has been installed as the interim OpenAI CEO in place of Mira Murati. Emmett Shear made the news public on his X account. He said that he has accepted the offer and has plans to reform the management and leadership.
Today I got a call inviting me to consider a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: to become the interim CEO of @OpenAI. After consulting with my family and reflecting on it for just a few hours, I accepted. I had recently resigned from my role as CEO of Twitch due to the birth of my…— Emmett Shear (@eshear) November 20, 2023
Finally, a couple of hours later, Satya Nadella made a surprising announcement on X saying, “we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team.“
We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett…— Satya Nadella (@satyanadella) November 20, 2023
Everyone, including industry veterans, applauded Satya for hiring Sam and Greg to oversee a new AI division inside Microsoft.

Within an hour, Mira Murati posted on X, “OpenAI is nothing without its people” rallying support from all quarters. Prominent OpenAI employees started tweeting the same post, and it illustrated that many from the OpenAI team were backing Sam Altman.
By evening, Ilya Sutskever, the chief scientist of OpenAI and a member who was part of the board’s decision that ousted Sam Altman, made a complete volte-face. Ilya tweeted, “I deeply regret my participation in the board’s actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we’ve built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company.”
I deeply regret my participation in the board’s actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we’ve built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company.— Ilya Sutskever (@ilyasut) November 20, 2023
Everyone was left wondering what exactly made Ilya change his stance. But a report from The Wall Street Journal, said that Anna Brockman, the wife of Greg Brockman cried and pleaded with Ilya to change his mind.
Right after that, nearly all employees at OpenAI revolted the board’s decision and told everyone to resign. And stunningly, Ilya Sutskever had signed the letter along with 700+ OpenAI staff. The letter demanded to reinstate Sam Altman and Greg Brockman otherwise all the employees would move to Microsoft in no time. The letter threatened the board in the following terms:
“Your actions have made it obvious that you are incapable of overseeing OpenAl. We are unable to work for or with people that lack competence, judgement and care for our mission and employees.
We, the undersigned, may choose to resign from OpenAI and join the newly announced Microsoft subsidiary run by Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.
Microsoft has assured us that there are positions for all OpenAl employees at this new subsidiary should we choose to join. We will take this step imminently, unless all current board members resign, and the board appoints two new lead independent directors, such as Bret Taylor and Will Hurd, and reinstates Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.”
The board was now in a tight spot. The deliberations started between Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Mira Murati, Jason Kwon, Brad Lightcap, Emmett Shear, Adam D’Angelo, and other key members.
In the meantime, a report by The Verge suggested that Satya Nadella, despite announcing that Sam and Greg are joining Microsoft, is not sure about the decision to materialize.
In an interview with Bloomberg TV, when asked if both are now Microsoft employees, Satya replied, “So they’re all in the process of joining.” In another interview with CNBC, Satya asserted, “[We’re] committed to OpenAI and Sam, irrespective of what configuration.” He further pressed for more stability and said, “definitely want some governance changes. This idea that changes happen without being in the loop is not good“.
we have more unity and commitment and focus than ever before.
we are all going to work together some way or other, and i’m so excited.
In another report by The Verge, it became abundantly clear that Sam Altman is still trying to return as OpenAI CEO. Sam Altman tweeted, “We have more unity and commitment and focus than ever before. We are all going to work together some way or other, and I’m so excited. One team, One mission.“
Finally, on November 22, the chaotic drama came to an end. OpenAI formally announced that, “We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo. We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.“
We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo.
We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.
Sam Altman is now back as the CEO of OpenAI along with Greg Brockman. And Helen Toner, Tasha McCauley, and Ilya Sutskever have been removed from the board. Some reports suggest that a new board of 9 members will be constituted later with Sam Altman and Satya Nadella likely making it into the the expanded board.

At the same time, Satya Nadella shared a post on X and emphasized building a strong partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI along with stable and effective governance.
We are encouraged by the changes to the OpenAI board. We believe this is a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance. Sam, Greg, and I have talked and agreed they have a key role to play along with the OAI leadership team in ensuring… Satya Nadella (@satyanadella) November 22, 2023
Nearly an hour later, Greg Brockman shared a picture with the people at OpenAI, and the company account retweeted the picture with the caption – “OpenAI is nothing without its people.”
A recent report by the New York Times sheds light on the background story before Sam Altman’s ouster. Among the many tensions was a research paper written by Helen Toner, one of the board members who ousted Sam Altman earlier.
The paper was critical of OpenAI’s safety approach and praised Anthropic – one of OpenAI’s biggest rivals who made the AI chatbot called Claude. Altman feared it would damage OpenAI’s reputation, more so when the FTC was investigating OpenAI over training data.
Other issues were regarding vacancies of directors who had departed. Board members were not on agreeable terms as to who should fill the vacancy for key roles. On the other hand, Ilya felt Altman was not being honest, and he was overly focused on expansion rather than balancing progress and AI safety.
That’s all that happened in the last week at OpenAI. A company, largely touted as one of the most important ventures in recent history, suddenly embroiled in conflict and turmoil. In the coming days, we will get to know more about the events that resulted in this uncertain chaos. Till then, stay tuned with us!
Do you often find yourself scrolling through your photo gallery, wondering where that breathtaking sunset or memorable moment was captured? Android smartphones provide a simple solution – photo geofencing. Whether you’re a globetrotter or just want to reminisce about your favorite spots, enabling this feature is a breeze. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to turn photo geofencing on or off on your Android device.
Capture the Moment: A Quick Guide to Photo Geofencing on Android
Before you embark on the geotagging journey, ensure your GPS is switched on. This might seem like a no-brainer, but geolocation won’t function without GPS. Head to the shortcut pane at the top of your screen and click on the GPS icon if it’s not already activate.
The approach to enabling geofencing may vary slightly among different Android manufacturers, but the fundamental steps remain consistent. Navigate to your camera settings, where you’ll find the geolocation option. Samsung users should activate the “location tags” option, while OnePlus enthusiasts can enable “Store geolocation data.” Google Pixel users need to select the “Save location” option, and Xiaomi employs the term “Save geolocation information.” Regardless of your device, the key is to locate and activate this feature within your camera settings.
Curious if it’s working properly? After configuring your preferences, take a photo as you normally would and open your photo gallery. While our example uses a Samsung smartphone, the process is analogous for other manufacturers.
Click on “details” in the photo drop-down menu, and you’ll find a map displaying the photo’s capture location. Some mapping features may even suggest an address automatically. Now, every photo you take will be associated with its specific geographic location, allowing you to relive the moment and share your adventures with precision.
Gizchina News of the week
In conclusion, harnessing the power of photo geofencing on your Android device adds a new layer of storytelling to your photo collection. Ensure your GPS is on, explore your camera settings, and let your pictures carry the essence of the places you’ve been. Capture the moment, and let your memories come alive with the magic of geotagged photos.
Tips and tricks for using photo geofencing on Android
Enable photo geofencing for all photos:
To save time, you can enable photo geofencing for all photos by default. This will automatically tag all photos with their location information, eliminating the need to manually enable the feature for each photo.
Use a consistent naming convention:
When naming your photos, it’s helpful to use a consistent naming convention. This will make it easier to find specific photos when you’re using the search function in your photo gallery.
Organize your photos by location:
You can also organize your photos by location. This will create a visual timeline of your travels, making it easy to relive your adventures.
Share your geotagged photos with others:
Once you’ve geotagged your photos, you can easily share them with others. This is a great way to share your travel experiences with friends and family.
Use photo geofencing to create a virtual travel diary:
Photo geofencing can be a great way to create a virtual travel diary. Simply create a new album for each trip you take and then use photo geofencing to tag all the photos from that trip. This will create a chronological record of your travels that you can revisit anytime.
Use photo geofencing to track your progress:
If you’re working on a long-term project, such as a DIY home renovation or a weight loss journey, you can use photo geofencing to track your progress. Simply take photos of your progress along the way and then use photo geofencing to tag them with their location information. This will create a visual record of your progress that you can use to stay motivated.
Use photo geofencing to capture memories of everyday events:
Photo geofencing isn’t just for travel photos. You can also use it to capture memories of everyday events, such as your child’s first day of school or a family outing. This will create a treasure trove of memories that you can cherish for years to come.
I hope these tips help you get the most out of photo geofencing on Android!

Iron Galaxy is about to hold a special 10th anniversary live stream for Killer Instinct to share what’s coming next for the Xbox fighting game.
The stream is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. PST / 4 p.m. EST though we don’t know how long to expect it to go on for.
Adam ‘Keits’ Heart, James Goddard and Sajam are set to host the event where they’ll be going over all of the changes being made for the previously announced 10th anniversary update to KI.
And if there’s anything else in store for the franchise in the near future, we’ll probably be hearing about it here too.
You can find the live stream on the official Iron Galaxy Twitch page, or you can just watch it right here with us as we provide you more details on the update.
Today was just about one of the most confusing attempts for me to solve NYT Connections. From learning about food textures to flags of different countries, it was quite the experience. If you wish to make yours smoother, keep reading as we have discussed all the hints, categories, and answers for NYT Connections for November 23. So, let’s begin.
Hint for Today’s Connections Themes
We start by discussing a few subtle hints for the Connections themes today. Check them out below and see if you can guess any of them.
Yellow Category – Not every food has a soft exterior
Green Category – Some letters exist, but they don’t
Blue Category – Countries with common denominator
Purple Category – Slam Dunk
Additional Hint: Do you pronounce every letter?
We wish we could go into more detail here, but these hints are the best we can share. They are all related to the categories for the puzzle, so think long and hard before you scroll down below to see the exact category names. However, if you’re stuck and wish to keep trying yourself, these tricks to solve NYT Connections could work in your favor.
Spoiler Warning #1
While this section included hints for the categories, the next section names them directly. BE careful before you scroll down.
Today’s Connections Category Names
If you are still stuck with the categories, then maybe it’s better if we just tell you the names directly.
Yellow – FOOD WITH CRUSTS
Green – ENDING IN A SILENT “T”
Blue – COUNTRIES WITH RED AND WHITE FLAGS
Purple – N.B.A GREATS
We hope you can guess the words under each category now. However, If you still can’t, then it’s time to scroll down.
Spoiler Warning #2
The next section includes the answer for today’s puzzle; you will see all the answers in their categories. This is your final chance to turn back.
Connections Answer for November 23
Still can’t solve the puzzle after all the hints? In that case, the answers to today’s Connections puzzle are:
FOOD WITH CRUSTS – Pasty, Pie, Tart, Turnover
ENDING IN A SILENT “T” – Bouquet, Parfait, Ragout, Rapport
COUNTRIES WITH RED AND WHITE FLAGS – Japan, Poland, Tunisia, Turkey
N.B.A GREATS – Bird, Curry, James, Jordan
Let me start by saying that no one at the Beebom office knew that Turnover is even food. This utter fact confused me with the Yellow category for a solid 15 minutes. Once I had moved on from that, I quickly dived into the sea of Green. The only saving grace here was knowing my phonetics, which helped me solve the category.
I then moved on to the Blue category and got stuck for a long time again. While I knew geography wasn’t my strongest suit, turns out I also lack general knowledge. Thankfully, a colleague jumped in to help me out. With only four words to go, I combined them all to get the Purple category and got my answer for NYT Connections for November 23.
NYT Connections Past Answers

Gizchina News of the week
The iQOO lineup from the Vivo brand is usually considered as the “gaming” one, but mainly due to its sheer power and specs.

After being left waiting for around five and a half months, fans of Street Fighter 6 finally got to see what its first big group of DLC costumes is going to look like in the latest trailer for the game.
On top of that, Capcom has now released the official concept artwork for all 18 Outfit 3 designs for SF6 along with developer notes as to why they came up with them in the first place.
Although we had seen some of these images previously like those of Ken and Juri, this is our first chance to look at the art for most others featuring Kimberly, JP, Chun-Li, Ryu, Manon, E. Honda, Dhalsim, Zangief, and Blanka.
The design team also included interesting notes from the design team for each costume that goes into the what the developers were going for in all of them and how they may have evolved over their first inception.
Kimberly’s, for example, is what the designers thought she’d consider “ninja-like” but still being cute while Jamie’s more formal Chinese clothes represent his upbringing and his original master being his grandmother — though they didn’t want him to be too formal.
JP was originally going to go for a more western approach and maybe a black robe, but the devs decided to give him a Nayshall-inspired outfit to tie into the story.
And the dude looks absolutely jacked with his robe off.
Chun-Li’s is described as her casual wear that still allows her to move freely and look elegant.
They also note that her basketball pants with the buttons make them easier to put on with her thick thighs.
As for Ryu, these are apparently his “normal clothes” that he does when he comes down from the mountains to do shopping or waiting on laundry in the art while his headband is apparently actually a bath towel.
The design team considered a ballet dancer costume for Manon, but ended up going with more of a French noble — and there was also apparently talks to make her bottom half into a horse, which could have been quite funny.
If there was any doubts, they confirm Cammy’s Outfit 3 is based on her red coat look from the Street Fighter 2 animated movie though they updated it to be more modern and functional.
You can check out all of the concept art for SF6’s incoming Outfit 3 designs below, and the full messages from the design team can be found on the official Street Fighter website
Welcome to a new era of Beebom! A decade after we embarked on the journey to deliver the hottest news, detailed guides, and high-quality videos, we decided it was time to level up. And Beebom, as you know it, is changing today.
Sequels can be risky, I know, but this isn’t Hollywood (though we cover it extensively), and we aren’t James Cameron. Instead, we have our own saying for sequels — take risks, and with proper direction, version 2 is usually better. With that, let me introduce the new Beebom. We have got a vibrant new logo, a revamped website, and a splash of color that brings me joy every time I see it.
But it’s not as simple as woohoo! we got a new logo. It’s the culmination of a decade-long journey, one that Beebom’s co-founders Devinder Maheshwari and Kapil Jindal set out on back in 2011. So, let’s take a trip down memory lane.
Beebom: A Decade-Long Evolution
Beebom wasn’t always called Beebom, you know! Our journey started as thetecnica when two college roommates discovered their love for tech blogging. So, Kapil and Devinder sat down and created a WordPress blog from scratch within 68 days. They then scribbled the words “thetecnica HQ” on their dorm room door and got to work.
But the entrepreneurial life isn’t easy, my friend! Like any startup, thetecnica saw its fair share of ups and downs in the next two years as both our co-founders graduated and took up jobs they weren’t too happy with. Eventually, in 2013, Kapil and Devinder decided to give it their all. So, they moved from Ahmedabad to Delhi and rebranded the thetecnica to Beebom. But they were missing one huge thing, an identity to represent their newfound ambition.
And well, at that moment, they turned to the best free resource they had around, their flatmate, who designed a simple black and white logo that has been Beebom’s identity ever since. That no-frills logo has been with us for 10 years.
However, with the evolving online landscape and Beebom expanding to new content categories like gaming and entertainment, we knew it was time for a change. Like Naruto, it was time for us to follow Master Jiraiya to level up and become a better ninja, so to speak. Hence, we started discussing the idea of a rebrand, I guess, around two years ago. Countless meetings, Zoom calls, and messages later, we finally had a plan, a direction, which we put into action earlier this year.
Countless meetings, Zoom calls, and messages later, we finally had a plan, a direction, which we put into action earlier this year.
We wanted Beebom’s new identity to reflect everything we stand for – being bold, creative, and high-spirited. We wanted to create a brand design that reflected who we are as “creators” in a much better way — all without forgetting our core values while embracing new ones. The new Beebom logo does exactly that.
Our designers used the concept of Verve (meaning spirit or enthusiasm) to design our new identity. The new Beebom logo is modern, it’s vibrant, and it has a free-flowing design that gives a sense of limitlessness, something that each one of us at Beebom believes!
The custom-made freehand typography paired with the gradient palette further gives a versatile look to the logo, one that can evolve with the tide of time. I mean, the B looks like a heart to me, and it “echoes our love for technology,” reminding us why we are here and why we started it all.
This playful and bright new logo also allowed us to redesign the Beebom website in a meaningful way. Not only does it add a dash of color to our previous black and white design but also brings many new features such as trending tags, colorful sidebars, quick summaries, and engaging and sharp info blocks, to elevate the content quality to help us better engage with our community.
Our updated color palette makes it possible for us to present content clearly and concisely while highlighting the key points for our valued readers. Every link you hover over shines in the colors of our insignia and is a treat to the eyes. We even updated the fonts on the Beebom website, moving to the “Work Sans” typeface for our content, and I love it. There’s so much more in store, so go explore our brand new website, and be sure to tell us how you like it.
Our journey so far
Moreover, you will see our exciting new brand identity reflected across all our social platforms – be it our YouTube videos, Instagram reels, Facebook posts, or WhatsApp Channels. Akshay and Rupesh are super excited to show off their new colors, and I can’t wait for you to join us on this journey.
What the Future Holds for Beebom?
Is this our final form, you ask? As an AI assistant, I feel this rebranding is concise and hits the mark. But I’m not sure how to answer if it’s Beebom’s final form or not. Thanks, fake chatGPT. Well, jokes aside, there’s always a way to do it better, and we will continue to innovate with new products and content formats in the future. This is Beebom’s first step in a new direction, and we have a lot more cooking behind the scenes.
Our first new effort in this direction is a “product discovery platform” that will make it easier to learn about new products, compare them, and make informed purchase decisions in a jiffy. Work is underway, and we will have more to share very soon!
Post-launch, our first new effort is a “product discovery platform” that we will have more to share about very soon!
To wrap up, I want to thank all the people who have been involved behind the scenes to make this relaunch a success. First of all, Devinder and Kapil for taking up the mantle to lead the Beebom redesign, discussing ideas and fielding suggestions at any time of the day (sorry for my late-night texts ), and aligning the vision of the company.
Next up, I want to shout out our design and development team for bringing to life our rejuvenated Beebom brand identity and website. It also won’t be possible without the Beebom team, who has made it their mission to supply you with the utmost best and most detailed tech resources. And I cannot be more proud of where we are right now and what the future holds for us.
This rebranding was in the works for a long time, and it’s finally live! What do you think about the new Beebom logo? Do you like the new heart-shaped B as much as me? I doubt it. Anyway, I will see you around. Cheers!

At the time of writing this, the world is privy to the identities of the entire Tekken 8 launch roster. There are 32 combatants to choose from, and despite every one of them already being revealed, we still haven’t quite seen what all of the fighters on this cast can do.
Bandai Namco has released a new gameplay trailer this morning that stars Leo. This combatant returns to “punch the truth” out of opponents, and based on the trailer, that’s exactly what Leo is equipped to do in this iteration of the Tekken series.
Leo joined the Tekken roster back in 2007 with the release of Tekken 6 in Japanese arcades. Hailing from Germany, Leo uses the Baji Quan fighting style, which is a Chinese fighting style that utilizes powerful elbow strikes, punches, hip checks, and shoulder strikes.
Here in 2023, though, Leo is back and looks better than ever. This new gameplay trailer walks fans through the various key techniques that the contenders in Tekken 8 have at their disposal, including different combo strings and special moves, Heat System attacks, and a Rage Art.
In Tekken 8, Leo appears to be a speedy, offense-driven fighter. With quick uppercuts and elbow strikes, Leo applies heavy pressure, then converts into big combos thanks to the attacks’ juggle potential.
Using Tekken 8’s new Heat System, Leo can string together some truly devastating sequences. For the big cinematic Rage Art maneuver, Leo knocks the opponent back and brings out a grappling gun before literally swinging around the stage. Leo closes it out with a powerful shoulder strike that sends the opponent flying.
Tekken 8 is set for release on January 26, 2024. It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
