Tekken 8 is set to launch on January 26 however, players can currently download the free demo and try out the game before launch. So far, the gameplay for the demo is crisp however, there were some concerns from players regarding colour-blind assist features.

Like many other games, Tekken 8 also comes with different colour-blind mode options. As per reports, the filters that were made to assist players were causing migraines and in some cases seizures. This led to a bit of concern from the fans.

Following this controversy, Tekken 8 director Katushiro Harada revealed that the accessibility features have been tweaked to address all the concerns. However, the demo had not been updated with the latest changes. The accessibility features in the demo were early versions that were just a ‘work in progress’.
