Bandai Namco has now revealed the 32nd and final launch fighter for the hugely-anticipated upcoming sequel, TEKKEN 8, introducing the purple-haired Reina at the TEKKEN 8 EVO Showcase and completing the base roster.
Sporting a character design from Bayonetta designer Mari Shimazaki, Reina is nicknamed “”Purple Lightning” and fights using the Mishima Karate Style. You can see Reina in action in the reveal video right here.

The TEKKEN 8 team shared a final look at the roster along with plenty of gameplay and tournament action during the TEKKEN 8 EVO Showcase today:
In our most recent hands-on preview of the game, we said, “Where fighting games are becoming more popular and more accessible, I was glad to find that TEKKEN 8 is still undeniably TEKKEN in all of its breadth and complexity. That isn’t to say there aren’t efforts to appeal to the casual fanbase a little bit more here – quite the opposite – but more that TEKKEN 8 embraces the reputation of the series with undeniable fervour.
“There’s a clear commitment to delivering a unique type of play within the scope of TEKKEN, as well as creating something that warrants the description of being a truly next-gen fighting game. Though I’m uncertain as to how all of its systems will come together in totality, TEKKEN 8 seems like it’s going to be a remarkably good time for both fans and newcomers alike when it launches in the next 12 months.”
