Fans, Get Hyped!
Yo, fighter fans! Hold on to your arcade sticks because Bandai Namco just dropped some major news. Devil Jin, Zafina, Lee Chaolan, and Alisa Bosconovitch are the latest characters to join the TEKKEN 8 roster. That’s right, these aren’t your average DLC fighters; they’re fan-faves making a comeback to throw down in the newest installment.
Meet the New Additions
First up, we got Devil Jin, the darker and edgier form of Jin Kazama. Cursed but strong, Devil Jin’s ready to serve up some twisted combos. Then there’s Zafina, the mystical lady who knows how to make those acrobatic moves look good. Lee Chaolan, the silver-haired charmer, is back with his flashy kicks, and Alisa Bosconovitch brings that cybernetic heat. Don’t sleep on these fighters; they’re bringing their A-game.
More Than Just Fighters
Wait, there’s more. Bandai Namco gave us a sneak peek at Panda, too. That brings the total roster count to 30. With two more characters set to be unveiled on November 2nd and 12th, the full roster will soon hit 32 unique fighters.
Editions and Pre-Order Deets
Mark your calendars, fam! TEKKEN 8 drops January 26, 2024, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
