Tekken 8 all fighters and full roster — every confirmed character for the upcoming game

With Tekken 8’s release on the horizon of 2023, fans eagerly await details of the upcoming fighting game. Bandai Namco’s premier fighting game title will feature plenty of familiar faces, as well as some new ones. So far, we don’t have all the details on every character set to be included in Tekken 8, but below, we break down all the announced fighters and what we know so far.

Here’s the full list of confirmed characters in Tekken 8

The Devil form of Kazuya Mishima was shown during the first Tekken 8 trailer. However, as seasoned Tekken fans will know, Devil Kazuya is also a stance that Kazuya can transform into in several games to unlock new moves. So whether this is a stand-alone character or a transformation remains to be seen.

Alongside his father’s Devil form, Jin Kazama’s Devil form will seemingly make a return. This was showcased in the first trailer for the game. However, as with Kazuya, it may be the case that Jin has now gained control of the Devil gene, and can transform at will.

Jack’s latest form will be Jack-8, seeing the hulking robot return to the game. There’s been a Jack in every game, and special versions like Prototype Jack also appearing. This character will likely have a similar move set to their previous forms. On March 24, a new trailer featuring Jack was released, confirming some of his move-set, and his incredibly huge new gun.

Jin Kazama returns to the series as confirmed in the first few trailers. However, his fighting style still appears to be a mix of jujitsu and Kazama martial arts.

It’s reported that Jin’s mother, Jun Kazama, will return to the Tekken series for Tekken 8

Revealed in the debut trailer, Kazuya makes his return to the Tekken franchise, perhaps as an antagonist once again. He’s also been shown to potentially have the ability to transform into Devil Kazuya as in previous games.

King, the jaguar-headed professional wrestler, is set to feature in Tekken 8, as shown in some gameplay footage. But we got our first real good look at King in a special trailer released on March 17, showing off his enhanced grappling gameplay.

Lars was also featured in recent gameplay footage, showing off the high-tech assassin and protagonist of Tekken 6.

Marshall Law, one of the OG characters of the Tekken series, is slated to return for Tekken 8. On March 14, 2023, a new gameplay trailer showing off his move-set and Rage Art was added to the Bandai Namco YouTube.

Nina Williams received her own debut trailer on Jan. 5 as part of the Tekken World Tour finals. Her gun-wielding-style fighting seemed to herald a more weapon-orientated style for Tekken 8.

One-time King of Iron Fist champion and fan-favorite Paul Phoenix returns as a character for Tekken 8 as seen in gameplay footage. A trailer for Paul was released on March 10, showing him competing against long-time friend and rival Marshall Law in a hangar-type stage.

Officially revealed on March 29, Ling Xiaoyu, a staple of the Tekken franchise, was confirmed in a gameplay trailer.

After an appearance in the Tekken: Bloodline anime, Leroy Smith makes his triumphant return in Tekken 8. The character was officially revealed on April 2.

Asuka Kazama, the reported cousin of Jin Kazama, is back, making it a Kazama trifecta in Tekken 8. Joining Jun and Jin, Asuka will deliver her own unique take on the Kazama-style of Martial Arts, as revealed on April 2.
