This weekend we saw Tekken 7 wrap up for its official competitive circuit. However, it won’t take long to get started for Tekken 8. Its major circuit, the Tekken World Tour 2024, has been officially announced at the end of the 2023 finals.

We’ve just seen Arslan Ash take victory at the TWT 2023 finals. However, the next tournament in the series was announced as it wrapped up. We’re close to the Tekken 8 launch, and its inaugural year for the Tekken World Tour will be kicking off pretty soon after. These are the first details we know about the Tekken World Tour 2024.

Tekken World Tour 2024 Circuit Announced

At the conclusion of the 2023 finals, Bandai Namco announced the next instalment of their biggest circuit. The new tournament, the TWT 2024, will start up in just a few months. Beginning on April 13th, we’ll see our first year for the TWT playing the 8th instalment of the series.

The latest version of the game will be the main focus of this new circuit. It’s replacing Tekken 7 for the tournament beginning in 2024. We’ll have had a few months to try the new game that came out before the circuit kicks off, but a new title in the series could change a lot for the meta in events like this.

Changes This Year

The event isn’t just being changed in terms of what’s being played. The Tekken World Tour 2024 will have a few changes to its format too. The top players on the leaderboard will be moved forward to the Global Finale. However, there are changes to how tournaments are counted for this leaderboard. EVO Japan is getting promoted to the highest level of the circuit. The regional Dojo events will also contribute to which players move forward to the World Championship.

The Tekken World Tour is having a few changes made for the new season. However, it’s a familiar format to what we’ve seen before. The biggest change will be switching over to Tekken 8. We’ll have to see how this affects things for the Tekken World Tour 2024 once the game releases.
