Following the highly anticipated TEKKEN 8 launch earlier this year, Red Bull Golden Letters is set to return for its third iteration to the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in London across two action-packed days, September 28-29th 2024. Building on the following year’s success, the tournament will see more world-class matchups and electrifying battles as TEKKEN players worldwide fight to be crowned Champion.

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.

Last year’s Red Bull Golden Letters Champion, Jae-Min ‘Knee’ Bae, claimed the title after beating two-time EVO champion and fellow South Korean TEKKEN legend Hyunjin ‘JDCR’ Kim in a TEKKEN 7 masterclass with a landslide 6-0 victory.

Looking ahead to the tournament, Red Bull Player and TEKKEN legend Arslan “Arslan Ash” Siddique said: “It’s so good to see Red Bull Golden Letters returning for a third time. It’s become a real moment for the TEKKEN scene to look forward to every year, and new global qualifiers are great to give more opportunities and add even more wildcards to this competition. With the competitive scene still working out TEKKEN 8, the format adds such a great challenge for us, and is going to be so fun for fans to see play out – I can’t wait!”

Gopuff will continue its partnership with the Red Bull Gaming Sphere by joining as the Official Grocery and Snacks Delivery Partner for Red Bull Golden Letters, supplying competitors and talent with a range of everyday products in as little as 15 minutes.

Red Bull Golden Letters will be broadcast from the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in London and live on social media. For more information on Red Bull Golden Letters, including the Open Qualifiers, visit RedBull website.

ECA and AGEM applaud creation of Association Assembly at ICE Barcelona
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The news that January’s ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gaming’s most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.

Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.

Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: “Our members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.

“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientation—connecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”

Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: “We represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.”

January’s editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
