New Tekken 8 Trailer Introduces Panda, Zafina, Lee, Alisa, and Devil Jin
Bandai Namco Entertainment released a new Tekken 8 trailer revealing four new playable characters — Panda, Zafina, Lee, Alisa, and Devil Jin. The reveal now puts the launch roster to 30 confirmed characters.
Bandai isn’t done as the final two characters are planned to be revealed on November 2 and November 12 respectively. That makes Tekken 8 to launch with 32 playable characters next year.
Bandai will be present at the 2023 ESGS happening in the Philippines and will feature stations with a build of Tekken 8 accessible to attendees of the event. It is now clear what build will be available at the event.
Tekken 8 is set to launch on January 26, 2024 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
The amount of effort seen here gives me hope for Capcom’s future attempts at reviving classic titles, as Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the latest title of the once dormant classic franchise, comes back in the best way possible as it very well might be my game of the year contender.
