Quick Links:
Bandai Namco has released Tekken 8 patch 1.07.00, bringing new customisation items, Tekken Ball replays and numerous gameplay fixes to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
The update launched on 3 September 2024 in the UK, following its 2 September rollout in North American Pacific time. It focuses primarily on improving existing features and correcting unintended behaviour rather than introducing major character balance changes.
What’s New in Tekken 8 Patch 1.07?
Patch 1.07 introduces two costume packs, additional avatar customisation and a replay feature for Tekken Ball.
| Feature | Patch 1.07 changes |
|---|---|
| Hibiscus Pack | New costumes available for all playable characters |
| The Wildfire Pack | Additional costumes for the playable roster |
| Summer Set | New avatar customisation items |
| Hook-and-Loop Sneakers | Free character customisation item |
| Tekken Ball Replays | Replay support for online Tekken Ball matches played in the Fight Lounge |
| Character adjustments | Move-behaviour corrections affecting 18 fighters |
| Replay compatibility | Previous replay data becomes unavailable |
The Hibiscus Pack, The Wildfire Pack and Summer Set expand the customisation options available through the Tekken Shop.
Meanwhile, the Hook-and-Loop Sneakers are available as a free customisation item.
One of the more useful additions is Tekken Ball Replays, which allows players to review online matches played in the Beach Area of the Tekken Fight Lounge.
Players can access these matches through Online Replay. Their own Tekken Ball matches can also be viewed through My Replay & Tips, although the usual gameplay tips will not appear.
I consider this a worthwhile improvement for players who enjoy Tekken Ball competitively. Being able to review matches gives the mode another useful feature beyond casual play.
Character Adjustments and Gameplay Fixes
Tekken 8 patch 1.07 includes corrections affecting 18 playable fighters, including Azucena, Bryan, Dragunov, Kazuya, Lars and Lidia Sobieska.
The changes primarily address unintended move behaviour, hitbox inconsistencies and situations where attacks fail to connect as expected.
Examples include:
- Kazuya: Adjustments ensure the Floor Break effect occurs on the intended hit of a particular attack.
- Lidia: Corrections to opponent positioning following certain side and back hits from Heaven and Earth stance.
- Bryan: A move that previously could not be countered using an Attack Reversal now behaves as intended.
- Feng: Hurtbox adjustments reduce unintended whiffs on selected attacks.
- Raven: An adjusted input window makes a particular Soulzone action easier to execute.
These are primarily behaviour corrections rather than a substantial overhaul of character strength.
Bandai Namco has also addressed problems involving Rage Art cinematics, Heat-related actions and Special Style behaviour.
Several stages receive specific fixes:
- Sanctum: Corrected problems with stage transitions.
- Rebel Hangar: Fixed the appearance of destructible walls during Balcony Break interactions.
- Elegant Palace: Addressed visual effects that could obscure the screen during a Hard Wall Break.
Additional corrections cover move-list information and training mode displays, including frame data and combo-related information.
Players should also be aware that replays recorded before patch 1.07 can no longer be played through Downloaded Replays or My Replay & Tips. Earlier online replay data is deleted when the update is applied.
Super Ghost Battle and Ghost Match will continue using existing ghost data, but character behaviour and move properties will reflect the updated version of the game.
Players looking for individual move changes can consult Bandai Namco’s official patch 1.07 notes and detailed character adjustment history.
Although patch 1.07 is relatively modest, its fixes address several issues affecting match consistency while expanding the replay functionality available to players.
