Tekken 8 patch v2.05.00 includes several bug fixes and character move adjustments, but another set of changes some players couldn’t wait to see are the updated chest parameters of the female cast. This comes after a bug in the Beach Fun Pack DLC set mistakenly changed several female characters’ busts to the same size. The new patch readjusts each character’s chest parameters to be true to their original designs.
Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada shared animated GIFs on X with the lighting flattened to demonstrate the changes before and after the latest patch, but cautioned that the corrections may look more subtle on the attached images than they do in the 3D in-game environment.
Special attention was given to Asuka Kazama, whose previous in-game model features broader shoulders and a thicker neck, making her look bigger and more muscular than her previous iterations. Asuka’s neckline, shoulders, upper arms, and neck were adjusted in the latest patch, making her look more in line with her past appearances in Tekken. While the developers are planning more changes to Asuka’s model, Harada states that implementing many corrections simultaneously would render the character model unstable, so they’re taking gradual steps.
Unfortunately, it seems as though the recent patch has caused some issues with character customization. There have been instances of the new body values corrupting customized appearances and even crashing the game when specific cosmetics are worn. Though the issues are planned to be addressed in an upcoming September 2 patch, players would be better holding off on customizing their characters for now.
Tekken 8 is available for PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
