Tekken 8 has an expansive roster of 32 characters, 27 of whom have been revealed so far. The Tekken series has always been known for its diverse cast of characters, all of whom factor into a complicated story. Tekken 8 will finally put an end to the Mishima saga, which should give the series more of an opportunity to focus on its cast of side characters.
The latest batch of Tekken 8 roster entries were revealed at opening night of Gamescom, the annual video game trade fair in Cologne, Germany. Without further ado, here are the 27 characters so far confirmed to appear in Tekken 8.
It’s no surprise to see Jin Kazama heading up the roster for Tekken 8. He’s become something of a series mascot since his first appearance in Tekken 3, and has since become its go-to protagonist. Jin mixes his bloodline’s own Kazama Style martial arts with the brutal Mishima Style. With his father Heihachi Mishima dead as of Tekken 7, he’ll now focus on his conflict with Mishima’s son and successor Kazuya, and his quest to stop the spread of the deadly Devil Gene.
Devil Jin is a demonic version of Jin Kazama, infected by the Devil Gene. He rivals Jin with his similar, signature style, which also combines the Mishima and Kazama schools. Devil Jin is power-hungry and resentful of all other forms of life. He debuted alongside Jin in Tekken 3, but was first playable in Tekken 5.
Kazuya Mishima takes over main antagonist duties after the death of his father Heihachi in Tekken 7. He debuted in the very first Tekken as its protagonist, but made a heel turn in Tekken 2 and has remained a major villain since. Kazuya embodies the cold-blooded Mishima Style of karate, with ruthless demon- and dragon-themed moves. He’s Jin’s father, but thanks to Devil Kazuya’s manipulation, took little part in raising his son.
