It'll be extremely limitedBandai Namco announced today (https://en.bandainamcoent.eu/tekken/news/tekken-8-here-what-youre-going-play-the-closed-network-test) that fans can now sign up (right here (https://tekken.com/closed-network-test#cntsignup)) for the limited Tekken 8 Closed Network Test. The announcement indicates participants will be chosen based on a first-come, first-served basis, but also mentions it will be a very limited test.
While all platforms will have access to the Closed Network Test from July 28th at 10AM until July 31st at 9AM CEST, Playstation 5 participants only will get an extra weekend from July 21st at 10AM until July 24th at 9AM CEST. Those playing on a console will not require an online subscription service (like PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold) to participate in the test.
In anticipation of the test, Bandai Namco released a new trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh5udl01YXc
If you were lucky enough to play in the closed alpha tests in March, you will notice an all-new "Heat" battle system has been implemented based on feedback from the alpha. This new system removes the old "Heat Energy" mechanic and adds a whole new element to the action.
All playable characters will have a new "Heat Smash" command for use with the new system.

The July closed network test will have all currently announced content - here's a recap and where to sign upFor the first time, you will be able to play as any of the 16 announced characters, including the recently revealed Bryan Fury (https://www.destructoid.com/tekken-8-bryan-fury-trailer-reveal-bandai-namco/). You will also be able to face off on all five revealed stages: Urban Square, Yakushima, Rebel Hangar, Sanctum and Arena. The Closed Network Test will feature online head-to-head ranked matches and cross-platform matchmaking.
Not only does Tekken 8 look like a lot of fun, but the new Heat battle system also sounds interesting. The recently released Street Fighter 6 (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/street-fighter-6-review-destructoid-fgc-capcom-fighting-games/) has been consuming a lot of my time lately, but who can't make a little room in their schedule to practice Nina?
Again, the signup link is right here! (https://tekken.com/closed-network-test#cntsignup)
