‘Tekken 8’ Brings Back Raven, Adds The Coffee-Loving Azucena

by Sage Ashford

During EVO 2023, Bandai-Namco revealed two additional characters coming to Tekken 8.  First coming back to the game is secret agent Raven.  Originally introduced in Tekken 5, Raven comes back in place of his sensei, Master Raven, introduced in Tekken 7.

Bandai-Namco also took the opportunity to introduce a new character in Azucena, a Peruvian mixed martial artist whose family owns a coffee company.

With this reveal, the leaked roster that was shown off weeks ago is essentially confirmed. With 18 characters officially announced, that leaves roughly another dozen or so to go.

Tekken 8 is planned for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
