Bandai Namco promised a character reveal for Tekken 8 on November 2nd, and it delivered by introducing a new fighter: Victor Chevalier. Hailing from France and voiced by Vincent Cassel of Ocean’s Twelve/Thirteen and Westworld fame, he embodies “refined violence.” Check out the trailer below.
Victor utilizes a variety of weapons, from a handgun and knives to a futuristic saber. He can also teleport, which means sudden attacks from above and rushing through enemies during combos. Interestingly, Victor seems to have a connection to Raven and is more than capable of matching him in speed. It’s also worth noting the gorgeous new stage with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
Tekken 8 launches on January 24th, 2024 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. The developer recently confirmed that Zafina, Lee Chaolan, Devil Jin, and Alisa would be playable at launch while also hyping character reveal for November 12th. In the meantime, check out our thoughts on the recent closed beta and what makes it so good.
