How long does it take to finish Tekken 8 main story

Tekken 8 main story is at its bare minimum 4 hours long. This is considering you play the game at the lowest possible difficulty. However, if you are willing to play it at a higher difficulty, it will take you around 5 hours to finish the story.

If you are a new player, going through the story in easy mode might be the best for you. However, if you are a completionist and looking to gather the additional customization items that can be earned from the main story, then playing it in hard mode is worth it.

Now, comparing this to the campaigns of the previous Tekken games, it falls in the middle. The campaign for Tekken 7 was somewhere around 3 hours, while Tekken 6 takes around 7 hours. Additionally, if you compare it to its competitors, the World Tour mode of Street Fighter 6 is 20 hours long, while that of Mortal Kombat 1 is 7 hours long.

Nevertheless, the story of Tekken 8 is quite gripping and is filled with intense fights and visually stunning cinematics.
