Tekken 8 just got a release date and confirmed a bunch of returning characters, but nobody in their right mind really cares about that stuff. The real news is that Tekken 8 will bring back the all-important Jukebox Mode (thanks, @Yellow_Motion), which lets you play music from every previous Tekken title. You can also replace stage music with old tracks, if you want.
Jukebox Mode originally appeared in Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and was a genuine highlight of Tekken 7. The near 30-year-old series is absolutely packed with bangers, and being able to place your favourites throughout the latest game makes for one heck of a nostalgia trip.

Meh. Tekken games used to be packed with bangers. Distinct, varied, unique. Give me any track from Tekken 1-4 and I could tell you which character it belongs to. Later games however linked music to stage not character, and was nearly always something generic.
Yoshimitsu's 'Serene Forest' level music from Tekken 2 was missing from Tekken 7 and, for my money, is one of the best.

That makes me so happy I absolutely love this feature the classic Tekken's have some of the best music in video game history ^__^. I wish Street Fighter VI had this feature as well it has some awesome music but it would be nice to be able to use some classic SF music as well.
(Btw just to let you know Tekken Tag 2 was the first game with the feature not 7)
Can't wait to only listen to Tekken 5's (the undisputed, best Tekken game) music
@Keyblade-Dan Well remembered, I've fixed that in the article!
Please give me team battle.
I was so disappointed when I got to the start screen of 7 and flitted around the menu desperately looking for it. If it's not in this one, I fear they've decided to remove it permanently ðŸ˜
@LordAinsley And survival mode. Sadly, online is all anyone cares about now.
@LordAinsley I don't think tekken producers understand how important team battle was to some people, team battle was one of the best couch co-op games to play with friends or family, it isn't just about picking 8 characters, theres a strategy behind it of what order to choose the players, ive come back from 7 -0 down to win, it lasts longer than vs and 10 times more fun, if it is not included in the release version of tekken 8 I'll just wait for tekken 8 to go on sale like I did with tekken 7, that's how important team battle is to me
Throw Tekken Bowl and Tekken Force in and i'll consider getting it 😉
That was always a cool feature to have. I’ll listen to some of 8’s original tracks and I’m sure there will be some that I like. But those that I don’t will definitely get replaced.
