TEKKEN 8 Season 2 launched on March 31, and some players were not happy about the update. The developers then responded to the community feedback on April 3, announcing an emergency patch for the game. Read on for what's going on with the TEKKEN 8 Season 2 emergency patch situation and more.

In response, the TEKKEN 8 developers issued an official post on X. The post stated that the "causes of the two high-priority issues shown in the image have been identified, and fixes are currently underway."
