Jack-8 blasts his away into Tekken 8 in a new trailer

This morning, Bandai Namco has continued its steady stream of Tekken 8 character showcases with a new trailer for Jack-8. Although Jack serves as a staple of the Tekken series, players don’t control the same Jack in each game.

In some ways, this more outwardly robotic design harkens back to that of Gun Jack, Tekken 3’s playable Jack model.

When it comes to Jack-8’s gameplay, it retains many of the same heavy-hitting moves that fans of the Jacks have grown familiar with.

Additionally, Jack-8 sports one of the cooler Rage Arts revealed so far, which sees him blasting his opponent with an enormous rail gun.

Now that this latest Tekken 8 trailer has dropped, we officially have one for eight of the nine characters confirmed to be in the game so far. All we have left is Jun Kazama, a
