The phoenix rises

That was quick. Bandai Namco has dropped yet one more trailer for Tekken 8, this one specializing in Ling Xiaoyu. Ling was beforehand unannounced for the sport, so this trailer is a giant reveal for her. I’m principally simply shocked that this occurred so rapidly after Jun Kazama capped off the reveal trailers for his or her already-revealed forged.

This perhaps shouldn’t be an enormous shock. Ling Xiaoyu was launched means again in Tekken 3 and has been in each entry since. She initially wished to win sufficient cash to construct her personal amusement park however ultimately acquired wrapped up within the household drama of the Kazama household.

The trailer exhibits Ling Xiaoyu kicking her winged slippers at Nina Williams and King, who commenters have identified have been her foes within the Tekken: Bloodline anime. A lot of the time, she’s sporting her trademark smile proper up till she will get mad and nukes King’s well-developed abs.

Ling Xiaoyu will get the highlight after the beforehand proven characters: Jin Kazama, Marshall Regulation, Nina Williams, King, Paul Phoenix, Jack-8, Lars Alexandersson, Kazuya Mishima, and Jun Kazama. Bandai Namco hasn’t mentioned how giant the roster goes to be, precisely, however they’ve actually acquired a brisk tempo occurring with these trailers.

Tekken 8 is at present in growth for PS5, PC, and Xbox Collection X. It’s tentatively anticipated to launch late in 2023 or early 2024.
