If you are selected to participate in the Tekken 8 closed beta you will receive a notification via email. Also, all those that participated in the previous closed network test that was held in July are automatically included in the new beta without having to register. Players will have access to a total of six battle stages in ranked and group matches. A total of 19 characters will be playable during the beta, including Jin, Kazuya, Jun, Paul, Law, King, Lars, Jack-8, Xiaoyu, Nina, Leroy, Lili, Asuka, Hwoarang, Bryan, and Claudio, who were available in the previous beta, but also Raven, Azucena, and Feng Wei. This last one has been introduced in a new video that also serves as an announcement for the event.
