These changes ensure the game is longer than past entries, and it takes over six hours to finish, a number that can be more than doubled for those looking to do everything. The console version of Tekken 6 features a mode similar to Tekken Force, where players can freely roam environments, collecting loot in between standard combat encounters. Those wishing to enjoy the game in its entirety will need roughly 18 hours or so. Despite this, the campaign can still be finished in just over two hours. Tekken 5, which was released for the PS2 in 2004, came with a host of new modes and features.
Tekken 4 trimmed some fat when compared to its predecessor, and can be finished in just over an hour, with roughly 10 hours or so needed to experience everything it has to offer, including an updated Tekken Force Mode. Players could spend roughly two and a half hours playing through the story mode, but to experience the game's different modes, such as the infamous Tekken Force Mode, they would need to dedicate over 12 hours to do so. The demo arrives on PS5 first on December 14. Tekken 3, a game which still holds up remarkably well even today despite being a PS1 release, doubled down on its narrative and offered a richer experience than its predecessors. Tekken 8 is getting a demo for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC ahead of its January 26 release date, Bandai Namco has announced.
With Tekken 8 set to expand both its Story and Arcade modes, it may well find itself being one of the longest entries in the series.
