Tekken 8 players were found to be illegally playing the game’s closed network test and as a result have been threatened with pre-release bans by Bandai Namco.Available for all platforms, the second closed network test for the forthcoming fighting game was held over the weekend (July 29-30).
But because Tekken 8 was playable on PC, this allowed the players who had an awareness of how to circumvent the software to continue playing the game outside of its authorised hours.An important reminder from the TEKKEN Project and Bandai Namco Esports Team.

Also, the unauthorised download or distribution of the game is illegal. Please note that any player found to have accessed the CNT without authorisation may be deemed ineligible for the upcoming Tekken World Tour and other official tournaments.”Bandai Namco then thanked legitimate Tekken 8 players for their “cooperation in preserving the fairness and competitive integrity of our competition”.A couple of fans pointed out that this was a very likely outcome of creating a closed beta for PC players and that the solution would be hosting betas on consoles.
