For those looking to complete the Tekken 8 campaign, it should take approximately 4 hours to wrap up the entire story, considering that the entire run was flawless without any hiccups whatsoever.

However, players can choose from three difficulty settings, and the Hard mode can make the Mishima Saga fights more intense. Although the opponents are a bunch of AI bots, their intelligence is cranked up to maximum, rendering every battle challenging. In that case, the estimated time to beat the campaign will be around 5 hours.

While the difficulty settings have no particular impact on the story, they unlock a few in-game customizable items. Likewise, fans can also play through the new Arcade Quest to obtain avatar customizations.
