Harada is not a happy man after hearing about the Tekken 8 Beta Crack!
Recent exploitations found in Bandai Namco’s recent Beta release have been exploited by eager players.
Here are all the details and how to get banned from Tekken…
Recent Tekken 8 Beta Cracked
Reports have been coming in from players that a crack of the past Beta playtest has been cracked by hackers.
The upcoming playtest set for October 20th is still on its way, where players can enjoy both practice and online-ranked matches against each other. This is being rolled out for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC players alike.
But certain PC players now have access to a cracked version of the past beta that gives them unlimited access to the practice mode. Of course, they do not play online against one another or other players. However, this still gives them plenty of time to test out the mechanics and specifics of certain characters.
They only have access to what has been made available in the past so recently announced characters like Steve and Claudio are not available to them. But if they were able to crack this version then it would be likely they could crack the upcoming one as well later this month.
The crack originated from CS.RIN and was shared via online direct links and word of mouth.
Many players are concerned about some gamers getting an unfair advantage as they have more time to hone their skills. However, given the frequent beta releases and the coming release date, some other players are not concerned at all.
Although they are getting to practice a lot more, there is a fine limit to what they can learn. And given that it is offline, many changes will be made in the later version.
Bandai Namco’s Response
Bandai has already given a response to the potential outcome of a crack appearing online.
As with most online fighting games such as the case for SF6, a crack will pop up sometime or another. And as par the usual treatment, any players who are identified as having access to the Tekken 8 Beta Crack will be banned from any Tekken 8 official tournaments!
A big punishment for those involved in the pro Tekken scene. But not of much concern for casual players who just want to practice some electrics.
Beta versions serve as crucial testing grounds for developers to gather valuable feedback from players, helping them fine-tune the game and address any issues before the official launch.
For those playing the pirated version it would be wise for them to not share their thoughts. This is because it is clearly obvious who has spent more time in the lab compared to others who have only played for a few days.
Harada has yet to make a statement himself. But most likely he wants to not bring too much attention to it as to avoid it gaining popularity.
Tekken 8
Tekken 8 (鉄拳) is an upcoming installment in the Tekken series. It is a fighting game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Arika and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It was announced on September 13th, 2022, via the PlayStation State of Play. The game will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam.
According to Katsuhiro Harada, “This new entry will focus on the father and son showdown between Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama”. Harada stated that, Tekken 8 is set six months after Tekken 7 and will feature Jun Kazama as a “focal point of the story.
We cannot wait to get our hands on the “official” release.
