Bandai Namco promised a character reveal for Tekken 8 on November 2nd, and it delivered by introducing a new fighter: Victor Chevalier. Hailing from France and voiced by Vincent Cassel of Ocean’s Twelve/Thirteen and Westworld fame, he embodies “refined violence.” Check out the trailer below.
Victor utilizes a variety of weapons, from a handgun and knives to a futuristic saber. He can also teleport, which means sudden attacks from above and rushing through enemies during combos.

Tekken 8 launches on January 24th, 2024 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.
