Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. has released two videos highlighting new content in TEKKEN™ 8, the
next title in the legendary fighting game franchise coming to
PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam®. An all-new trailer
reveals that Nina Williams, the silent assassin who first appeared in
the original TEKKEN™, is blasting her way back onto the roster
in the upcoming game. The company also released a developer video
showcasing new game play elements that are bringing an “aggressive”
style of play to the series.
Nina Williams is bringing back her smooth and deadly fighting style
inspired by various martial arts. As a trained assassin, she's also
armed with weapons to help defeat her foes in style. For TEKKEN 8, the
development team has completely reworked Nina’s character model for
new-generation game platforms. Her moves and techniques are also
enhanced, including introducing new abilities to fit with the philosophy
of “aggressiveness” in the game’s new combat system. Nina Williams
joins previously announced characters in TEKKEN 8 that include Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Jun Kazama, Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, King, Jack-8, and Lars Alexandersson.
The TEKKEN 8 developer video features
Katsuhiro Harada, executive director on TEKKEN Project, and Kohei Ikeda
(Nakatsu), chief director on TEKKEN Project, as they detail the
different elements that make up this “aggressive” game play philosophy.
The video provides the deepest look yet at thrilling enhancements to the
combat system which promise to add new depth, weight, and atmosphere to
TEKKEN’s signature battles.
