New Tekken 8 Characters
You might stuck at Tekken 3 and trying to unlock all characters. You should hurry because there are three new characters in Tekken 8 as well. Reina, Victor, and Azucena are the new characters that are special to Tekken 8.
Azucena
Though her full name is Azucena Milagros Orti Castillo, she is more famous as the “Coffee Queen” herself. Growing up watching her father’s business flourish, she has always dreamed of being the best coffee farmer in the entire world. Though her efforts were not in vain, as she would become a world-famous coffee maker in the industry, she would not be content with that.
Always taking it one step further, Azucena thought of ways to become a better version of herself. Finally, she concluded that she would join the MMA scene to promote her “Azucena Blend”. Now, as one of the new Tekken 8 characters, she is training for The King of Iron Fist Tournament. She would definitely have a chance if she joined the Street Fighter 6 female characters.
Country: Peru
Style: Mixed Martial Arts (Striker)
Reina
Reina is the latest announced character of the complete list of Tekken 8 characters. She is defined as a “Mysterious fighter who uses lightning-quick movements”. Though she looks incredible in her purple futuristic gear, everything about her seems to be a mystery to be unfolded.
It is known that she is a student of the Mishima Polytechnical School. It is also clear that she has an eye on Jin. In one of the trailers released for this game, she refers to Jin as “Jin-senpai,” however, it is unclear whether Jin knows who she is or not. We don’t know why yet, but we’ll see her when the game is out as one of the new games of January 2024.

Victor
One of the newest additions to Tekken 8, Victor Chevalier, is defined as a “Living legend who founded the UN’s independent forces”. As a nobleman, he enlists the army to follow his father’s glory and earns himself the nickname “Phantom Raven”. However, he feels that being in the military is not getting him where he wants to be, so he leaves the Navy to join the UN for the greater good.
However, he realises that the world is on the verge of being the slaves of a private corporate giant. He begins to train an elite team called the Raven Unit, with which he conducts special operations all around the world. Against the military empire of G Corp, Victor is ready to tackle whatever the enemy brings to him. He would look good in the Street Fighter 6 male characters list.
Country: France
