EVO 2023 is setting the stage for some exciting moments, and Tekken 8 is definitely stepping into the spotlight at this year’s eSport tournament in Las Vegas! Bandai Namco Entertainment didn’t disappoint with not one but two exhilarating gameplay trailers that fans of the series have been eagerly waiting for. To kick things off, they unveiled Raven, a character who has already made quite the splash after being accidentally revealed during closed beta datamining a few weeks ago. First introduced in Tekken 5, Raven is a mysterious ninja working under the radar for the UN Intelligence Bureau. Initially entering tournaments to gather intel on the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation, he ended up forming a close bond with Lars Alexandersson and has become a beloved recurring character ever since.
At EVO 2023, Bandai Namco Entertainment also unveiled the second character for Tekken 8: Azucena from Peru! This dynamic fighter effortlessly dodges her opponents’ attacks with a natural grace that’s sure to dazzle players. In-game, she speaks fluent Castilian Spanish and has a passion for coffee that gets her into a friendly debate with tea-loving Lili. So, get ready for some serious fun as these two ladies clash not just in their fighting styles and looks, but also over their favorite drinks!
While the eagerly anticipated release date for Tekken 8 is still under wraps, fans were hoping to uncover this mystery at EVO 2023. But don’t worry—excitement builds with each passing day!
