PLAYABLE CHARACTERS

Character Move Behavior Fixes

• In Ver.2.09, there will be no battle balance adjustments or character behavior fixes.
• A major update, Ver.3.00, is scheduled to be released on March 17.
• For Season 3, battle balance adjustments will be made under the theme of “Refine.” While maintaining the current battle system, we aim to improve the overall gameplay experience based on the following policies:
  - 1. Adjustments that respect each character’s concept, strengths, and weaknesses, while preventing excessive performance gaps between characters
  - 2. Re-evaluating the relationship between character-specific power-up mechanics and the Heat system
  - 3. Prioritizing improvements that align with TEKKEN 8’s core gameplay and the Season 3 balance theme of “Refine,” based on feedback received to date
• For details on the various initiatives planned for the early phase of Season 3, please refer to the article below.
