During The 2022 Game Awards, fans of the fighting game Tekken were treated to an exciting new trailer for the upcoming (and so far undated) Tekken 8. In the wake of this gameplay showcase, the team announced that Tekken 7 has officially sold 10 million copies.

Making the announcement on Twitter, Katsuhiro Harada – the director of the Tekken series – revealed that “TEKKEN7 had achieved Over 10 million sales and Recorded Over 54 million copies sales for the series. Thank you for your continued support!”

This makes Tekken 7 by far the best selling entry in the series, with the second-best going to 1998’s Tekken 3. It is interesting to see the sales success of Tekken 7, especially as fan reception towards the game was somewhat middling. That being said, the game has seen great improvements since its launch in 2017 – though graphically it leaves a lot to be desired.

It is therefore exciting to see Tekken 8 development is well underway. What we have seen so far immediately appears more exciting and inspired, and so who knows just how many copies Tekken 8 will sell when it releases. We will have to wait and see.
