These are exactly the tournaments that postponed a balance update for TEKKEN 8. European TEKKEN Cup 3 and Mastercup Try Tokyo are spectacular to watch!
The competitive life in TEKKEN 8 is never on hold, even if we are within the gap between official World Tours. The game is featured at many esports events, and also, it has some dedicated leagues happening across the world.
Before the TEKKEN World Tour 2025 starts, pro competitors train their skills in the hot matches of European TEKKEN Cup 3 Finals and Mastercup Try Tokyo. The events happen on one weekend and cover two regions, which traditionally are big for the game.
Before Season 2 kicks off with new DLC characters and balance adjustments, all TEKKEN 8 players have a chance to witness top-level matches — to learn from the best and just have fun.
TEKKEN 8 Patch 1.12 turned out to be only the start of the 30th Anniversary Fight Pass to let these two specific tournaments happen with no changes in meta. All the details of the European TEKKEN Cup 3 Finals and Mastercup Try Tokyo are here.
