Tekken 8

"Tekken 8," developed by Bandai Namco Studios and co-developed by Arika, is a fighting game scheduled for release on January 26, 2024. This instalment is set six months after the events of "Tekken 7" and focuses on the final showdown between Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama. The game will feature a roster of 32 playable characters, including new and returning characters, and introduces a new "Arcade Quest" mode in its online gameplay. The game is set to be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows through Steam. "Tekken 8" is part of the long-running Tekken series known for its complex and engaging fighting mechanics and rich character backstories.

Rugby 24

"Rugby 24," developed by Big Ant Studios and published by Nacon, is set to be released on January 30, 2024. The game was initially planned for release in September 2023 to coincide with the Rugby World Cup, but was delayed to ensure the creation of the best simulation and most complete rugby game possible. The delay was also attributed to challenges in capturing 3D photos of top players and integrating over 130 countries and 15 leagues into the game.

The game will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. While no specific details have been provided regarding a Nintendo Switch version, it seems unlikely based on the release patterns of previous editions in the series.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

The story unfolds in the cursed city of Mount Qaf, where Sargon must rescue the kidnapped Prince Ghassan. The game world is inspired by Persian mythology and includes diverse biomes and environments influenced by historical Persian architecture and landscapes.

For those eager to try the game before its release, a free demo will be available on all platforms starting January 11. Additionally, players with a Ubisoft+ subscription can enjoy the game three days early, beginning January 15.
