The Tekken 8 roster currently consists of: (Image credit: Bandai Namco Entertainment) However, there are still many characters that remain unannounced for the title. New characters and their coinciding gameplay appear to be dropping fairly regularly at the time of writing, with gameplay videos being uploaded to the Bandai Namco YouTube channel and Tekken social media. Although many fan-favorite and storyline-integral characters such as Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima will return, we can also expect to see a handful of new fighters with entirely new movesets to master - though these are yet to be announced or showcased. With a new mainline Tekken game, players are desperate to see which legacy characters will return for the current-gen experience. Character trailers are dropping at a frequent rate, so expect this page to update as new and returning fighters announce their return.

More Tekken 8 trailers can be found on the Bandai Namco YouTube channel, alongside the gameplay trailers for each announced character. The most recent Tekken 8 trailer was uploaded in February, and showcased a variety of characters, including the anticipated return of Jun Kazama, alongside a few new locations you can expect to brawl within. That’s because Tekken 8 will also feature rollback netcode, a huge improvement over Tekken 7’s online that should lead to vastly more stable connections when playing online. With the emphasis the game has on competition and the inspiration it’s derived from community-led events such as the Tekken World Tour and EVO, the online side of competitive play is expected to support players better than before.

In addition to this, it has been confirmed that Tekken 8 will be entirely cross-platform so regardless of which console you and your friends are playing on, you’ll be able to battle it out in the ring. Tekken 8 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Currently, the only information we have received regarding the game is a few characters available in the base roster, an insight into the new arenas we’ll be fighting in, a few windows into new and returning gameplay mechanics, and the platforms of which the game will be available.

Tekken 8 is yet to receive a concrete release date.
