Finally, a Stage Mod that lets us use the STORY MODE version of Arena! Plus some other freebies! I'm super new to modding, and from my understanding, lighting is what drives Unreal Engine 5 forward. So after an entire Summer of studying and iterating, here's what I have for you guys! And yes, more cool mods are on the way!

Variants

Main Event Main Event Sky Main Event Ember Main Event Final Round

Replaces

Arena → Main Event (all four variants replace the same stage, so please pick one)

Four variants, all of the same stage. Final Round is a transition version that changes lighting as you progress through matches. Please pick one, they're not meant to stack.

Feel free to use my Mod Manager Suite to organize these stage mods, and more! https://tekkenmods.com/mod/7383/update-tekken-8-mod-manager-suite-conflict-crash-detection

Online Safe

This is the part I care about most tbh, so I did alot of tests before pushing this out. I've played all variants online and haven't seen a desync or fatal error after testing. That said, if there's any issues, or crashes tell me and I'll do my best to sort out what's going on. Join our community Discord and submit a support ticket, we'll be happy to help! https://discord.com/invite/DmPqYPtgKg

Installation

Extract the archive and drop the `.pak`, `.ucas` and `.utoc` into:

If you use a mod manager, import the folder as normal.

Known Issues

Main Event The Neon Signs may flicker as a result of shipping dual lighting scenes at once. This does NOT affect online play or create stutters in game.

Ember keeps both lighting rigs up for the entire match, including cutscenes. That's the trade off for the layered look which results in a little brightness in some areas. Post Processing Nodes could not save this without destroying the intended look of this version.
