A recent roster leak has surfaced for Bandai Namco’s highly anticipated installment in the Tekken fighting game series, Tekken 8. The leak exposes an impressive lineup of 36 playable Tekken 8 characters unveiled thus far.
Summary
- A recent leak has revealed an impressive roster of 36 playable characters for Bandai Namco’s highly anticipated Tekken 8 game.
- The leaked roster includes classic characters like Paul Phoenix and Kazuya Mishima, and the game’s producer has teased exciting features like single-player modes and intriguing storylines.
In September 2022, Bandai Namco officially announced Tekken 8 during a PlayStation State of Play Livestream. Although the exact release date is still pending confirmation, the game is planned for launch via Steam on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Additionally, in February, Bandai Namco provided a 36-minute gameplay breakdown, showcasing features like the heating system, rage system, and recovery gauge, contributing to the game’s growing popularity among the gaming community.
Meanwhile, just recently, a list of unannounced characters, such as Shaheen, Raven, Zafina, Yoshimitsu, Steve, and Alisa, was discovered in the game files as unplayable through the use of Cheat Engine.
However, it’s essential to remember that this is probably not the full roster, as series staples like Kuma, present in all previous games, are absent. The developers have indicated that the base roster will be much more extensive than that of Tekken 7 and current competitors, suggesting that these characters were likely only tested in this specific build. This was hinted at by the user, Trem45, on Reddit.
Apart from these, leakers have hinted at a complete roster of 36 characters apart from these above ones. Below are the 36 characters that have been reportedly leaked as part of the Tekken 8 roster:
