Red Bull Golden Letters 2024

For the first time, the Tekken 8 tournament will feature four global qualifier rounds across North America, Europe, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Taking place between July and September 2024, the qualifiers will offer the Global Tekken community the chance to stake their claim among the very best as they battle some of the world's top professionals. The qualifiers will take place on the following dates:

  • North America (Online) – 10th July
  • Europe (Online) – 13th August
  • Japan (Offline) – 17th August
  • United Kingdom (Offline) – 7th September

This year's Red Bull Golden Letters will be the first to be played on the newly released Tekken 8, unveiled earlier this year at Red Bull Pindrop, and will feature the return of its unique format. Putting players' core fighting game skills to the ultimate test by encouraging perfect play and clutching under pressure, players can achieve 'PERFECT' and 'GREAT' scores, aka 'The Golden Letters', to win matches automatically. Red Bull players Hoa 'Anakin' Luu and Arslan "Arslan Ash" Siddique will star alongside other top global pros, including Hasan "JoKa" Rehman, Lim "Ulsan" Soo-hoon, Alexandre "AK" Laverez, and "YUYU", with more legendary players set to be revealed in the coming weeks.

Day one of the blockbuster Finals weekend will see an all-new 20-player group stage, with numerous matchups throughout the day, with some superb matches promised. The top 12 players will progress to day two's Double Elimination, promising an intense and thrilling viewing experience for fans across the world. Day two will also reignite classic rivalries, with an East vs West battle before the Grand Finals, where players can settle old scores with adversaries. The Red Bull Gaming Sphere will also be transformed into an immersive golden bank vault for this year's iteration of Red Bull Golden Letters. Matchups will take place within the vault, which will be locked up until the winner is decided.
