“Anyone who listens to my music knows I love fighting games, so it just made sense to make a Tekken track that hits like a Mishima dragon uppercut,” D Double E said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Fumez The Engineer explained why he was excited for the track.

“I’ve been a Tekken player my whole life and I’m gassed for Tekken 8. I couldn’t think of a better tag team partner than Double.”

The track is available today on YouTube and Spotify.

Tekken 8 launched on 26 January for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Tekken creator Katsuhiro Harada replied to a comment from a fan recently who said that “Tifa Lockheart [Final Fantasy 7] would be absolutely incredible if she made it into Tekken 8“.

“We all know she is attractive and I understand that,” Harada replied on X (formerly Twitter).

“But as yes we have not decided anything about guest characters etc.”

NME reviewed Tekken 8 when it released, calling it a “beginner-friendly entry in a staple fighting game series” and a game that makes some “great strides to ensure players at every level can enjoy its stylish, fast-paced matches”.

“Tekken 8 has lots to offer both new and veteran players. The cinematic, over-the-top storyline is gorgeous and ends in a thematically brilliant fight; Arcade Quest is the perfect place to master all the fighters, and online play has never been more accessible to all,” our reviewer wrote.

In other gaming news, the magical roguelike Spellrogue is coming to Steam Early Access next month, with the developer stating that they “can’t wait to invite even more players to join us on our early access journey”.
