Will Tekken 8 come to the Switch 2 any time soon? Maybe, but it'll take "a lot of work"


Tekken 8's Harada stated that a Switch 2 port is possible, but it would take "a lot of work".

Speaking to Eurogamer, Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada (via translation from designer Michael Murray) stated a Switch 2 port of the 3D fighting game could happen, but it'll be a costly endeavour. The reception on returning Muay Thai specialist Fahkumram has been mixed, though the fan barometer seems to have improved slightly with the reveal of Armor King. Newcomer Miary Zo has split the fanbase somewhat, too, although there appears to be more to the Malagasy teenager than meets the eye (current fan theories point to her being some sort of vessel for Tekken 3 ’s Ogre…) A release on new hardware to a more casual audience could be good for the game, and Harada has previously spoken at length about Tekken 8 needs to recoup a lot of money in order for the series to have a future.
