Tekken 8 and Other Fighters Get Huge Demo at Bandai Namco Gamescon

Bandai Namco has announced its line-up of titles for the upcoming Gamescon. The German games convention is going to be a chance to get a hand on with some of their new games, including Armored Core VI: Fires and Rubicon. The event will be a perfect opportunity to see how the new Tekken game from the developer is progressing and a look at the content we’ll see later in the Tekken 8 closed beta.

This is what’s going on over the show and all the big games we’ll be seeing at the tournament.

Bandai Namco Gamescon Line Up

The German Gamescon show is a chance for fans to get hands-on with quite a few new titles from Bandai Namco. The developer will be present at the event and letting fans try out some titles like the upcoming fighting game Tekken 8. These are the full spread of games at the show.

Armored Core VI Fires and Rubicon

The latest Armored Core game is a new title coming from Bandai Namco and FromSoftware. It’s a new release in the 3D action series which has been hotly anticipated for some time. This will be a bigger demo ahead of the August 25th release date.

Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm CONNECTIONS

The latest tile in the Ultimate Ninja Storm series is a new Naruto fighting game from Bandai Namco. It takes a more story-driven approach, with an original script set in the world of the anime. This game will be part of the Bandai Namco Gamescon lineup with the one-v-one versus mode playable.

Park Beyond

Park Beyond is a new series from Bandai Namco at Gamescon that is in a bit of a different genre. This is a management sim, giving players free rein to run an amusement park! It’s a familiar idea for a SIM game. The show will be a chance to see how it compares to bigger names in the genre like rollercoaster tycoon.

SAND LAND

Another major title from Bandai Namco at the event is SAND LAND. This is the first time the game will be playable in Europe. The title is based on the later work of Akira Toriyama, the mangaka behind the huge Dragon Ball franchise. SAND LAND is a more adventure-driven title and the new game looks like a fun exploration of this.

Tekken 8

The biggest game featured for Bandai Namco Gamescon is Tekken 8! The new fighting game is one of the most anticipated new releases of the year. The game will be playable as one v ones at Gamescom. This will be a fun opportunity for players to fight against other attendees. While a Tekken 8 closed beta is upcoming too, nothing beats in-person matches. We’ll have to see how attendees to Bandai Namco at Gamescon report on the game and if it’s living up to its promising combat.

Those are all of the titles featured at the event. Similar upcoming fighters will also be playable at Comic Con soon, not to mention EVO 2023! We’re likely going to start seeing more and more impressions of how the title is shaping up before the Tekken 8 release date, even if you can’t make it to one of these events yourself.
