- Iconic fighting series

There aren’t many game franchises more synonymous with multiplayer fun on a PlayStation console than Tekken. From the very first game to Tekken 3 being among the best-selling PS1 titles that the console ever saw, its popularity has continued through to the current Tekken 7 (and the upcoming Tekken 8).
The Tekken franchise has been riding high in recent years, and in the wake of Street Fighter 5 underperforming, we saw Tekken 7 rise to the top and become hugely popular. That momentum is carrying the franchise into the highly anticipated Tekken 8, so if there was ever a time to get back into Tekken, or try it for the first time, that time would be now.
