Latest Tekken 8 Character Reveals Seemingly Confirm Earlier Roster Leak
Bandai Namco appears to have accidentally confirmed the next two characters coming to Tekken 8's roster, which also might have added evidence for a leak from earlier in the week.
Although it might not have its own tournament yet thanks to it not actually being out, Tekken 8 is still one of the biggest games at EVO this year, and one that Bandai Namco seems to have some special plans for. You wouldn't know that just yet, though, as its first panel was mostly focused on data learned from the Closed Network Tests, with a reveal instead seemingly planned for Sunday.

Earlier this week, images started being spread around social media that claimed to show Tekken 8's final roster and one of the characters featured within was someone with a large flower on their head.
