A new Tekken 8 gameplay trailer is available from Bandai Namco, revealing Lars Alexandersson. The illegitimate son of Heihachi Mishima, he leads the Tekken Force rebels in the title role. It is not surprising that he is still incredibly fast and can deal huge damage. Watch it below.
If you’ve enjoyed using Lars for his moveset, especially slashers and trick-slashers, good news: he’s got a lot of it in abundance. His speed goes well with the new Heat Burst and Heat Engager moves, while also encouraging the sequel’s new focus on aggressiveness. Of course, it doesn’t help to cast lightning bolts with different attacks either.
Tekken 8 is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC, developed on Unreal Engine 5 without any Tekken 7 assets. While the developer has not yet announced a release date, it is expected to launch sometime before April 2024. Stay tuned More character reveals, and in the meantime, watch the trailers for Jin, King, Nina, Kazuya, Paul, and Marshall Law.
