When you’re about to start a new Tekken 8 campaign run, you’ll be presented with three difficulty settings:

  • Easy
  • Medium
  • Hard

Unlike some other games, the names of the difficulty settings in Tekken 8 are pretty straightforward. While the Easy mode is mainly for new and casual players, the Medium and Hard modes are the ones where your skills will get tested.
