A Tekken 8 closed network test leak
A Tekken 8 closed network test character datamine reveals unannounced fighters for the fighting game, but a closer look suggests they may not be real characters just yet. Following the conclusion of the second Tekken 8 CNT, players have used cheats to access the game’s list of characters – including some that haven’t been announced yet. While the list offers hope that the Tekken 8 roster will include some fan-favourite fighters, it also includes several unknowns that may not be real characters at all.
The leak includes several notable fighters like Alisa, Steve, Shaheen, Raven, and Yoshimitsu. However, it also includes several unknowns that could potentially be new fighters. The list also includes several characters that have previously appeared in the series, like Claudio, Devil Jin, Eddy, Hwoarang, Jin, Julia, Kuma, Lee, Leo, Marduk, Ogre, Paul, Steve, and Xiaoyu.
While this list doesn’t reveal anything definitive about the game’s roster, there are some notable absences. Characters like Alex the Velociraptor, who was teased by Tekken 7 director Katsuhiro Harada and is one of the most-requested fighters, aren’t present. And while there are several Tekken 7 fighters listed, none of them are new to the series – a strange oversight considering how Tekken 7 included new fighters like Devil Jin, Katarina, and Miguel.
This leak is likely not the final character list, especially since it includes several fighters that have already appeared in Tekken 7. Bandai Namco has promised a larger roster for Tekken 8 compared to the previous game, but it’s unclear how many new characters will be included.
With more announcements likely on the horizon, we’re hopeful that the Tekken community will get its wish and see a complete roster for the next game. In the meantime, we’ll keep you updated with all the Tekken 8 roster news you need.
