2024 is off to a violent start as Tekken 8 punches itself into PCs and consoles to roundhouse-kick the year off. In the next instalment of the iconic fighting series, we will see another chapter in its storied history for the first time in nearly a decade. For those looking to get engrossed in the game's main story, we've got you covered on how long it takes to beat Tekken 8.
While not the most in-depth and time-consuming game mode in Tekken 8, all eyes will undoubtedly be on the game's story mode, titled The Dark Awakens.

How long does it take to beat Tekken 8's story mode?
Tekken 8's main story, The Dark Awakens, plays very much like an interactive movie and is run as a series of cinematics that are broken up by fight sequences. As such, and as is the case with previous titles, players don't expect the story mode to be as in-depth as the mainstream action-adventure titles out there. The length of time it takes you to complete the story will essentially come down to how quickly you can dispatch your foes in combat.
Overall, you can expect to complete the Tekken story in 10-15 hours. For those playing on a harder difficulty, this may take longer, depending on how much of an expert you are in the art of Tekken warfare. While the story won't take you long to complete, there are a plethora of other avenues to explore in the game, from Arcade Quest and online mode to the copious number of Character Episodes.
