The teaser shown at EVO suggests that Tekken 8 may not be that far away
An incredibly short teaser shown during EVO 2022 hints at a new Tekken game. During the Fighting Games Championship, the video showed Kazui's infamous ending in the original Tekken, in which he takes revenge on his father Heihachi by throwing him off a cliff. Instead of the ending, a blur of static appears as the camera zooms in on his smile, and his face is replaced with an older version of Kazui with the scars and red eyes that he got in Tekken 4.
Videos under 30 seconds long are not much, but rumors of both a remake of the original Tekken and a new sequel have been circulating for some time. Given that the teaser shows an older version of Kazuya, it's fair to assume Bandai Namco isn't hinting at a remake.

Tekken 8 appeared in last year's Nvidia leak, in which a web developer found a database of games in the Nvidia GeForce Now client, including some not yet announced. We seem to have another one to add to the list of confirmed games from this leak, along with GTA: The Trilogy, PC ports of God of War and Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Street Fighter 6 and all the rest.
