Bandai Namco has announced the latest addition to the TEKKEN 8 roster: Nina Williams, the silent assassin first introduced in the Tekken franchise. With the game being developed for the latest generation of consoles, including the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, TEKKEN 8 is set to make full use of the Unreal Engine 5 to enhance its gameplay and graphics.
The character models in the game have been completely remade from scratch and the new combat system is designed to be more aggressive, making for even more spectacular and entertaining fights. Nina Williams, known for her smooth and deadly assassination style, has been equipped with new abilities to fit in with the game’s new combat philosophy.
While Nina’s involvement in the Mishima Saga is a long-standing mystery, fans are eager to see how she will play a role in the TEKKEN 8 story. Along with Nina, other characters already announced for the game include Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Jun Kazama, Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, King, Jack-8, and Lars Alexandersson.
TEKKEN 8 is currently in development and more information can be found on the official website.
