Two weeks away from the release of Tekken 8, Bandai Namco Entertainment has yet to reveal the full cast lineup for the game’s launch. This gap is now bridged with the release of two new videos introducing Alice Bosconovitch and Panda. The first is Dr. Bosconovitch’s combat android, created to safeguard Jin Kazama and making her debut in Tekken 6. She was designed to resemble the doctor’s deceased daughter. In battle, she can wield chainsaws, use thrusters for flight, or deploy her head as a grenade. The other character spotlighted is Panda, who has been part of the series since Tekken 3. For this installment, he adopts a kawaii style, complete with ribbons in his ears, a red scarf around his neck, and a small heart-shaped pouch. These videos reveal each fighter’s most formidable attacks, techniques, and combos. To learn more about these characters, we suggest checking out our recent video preview.
