Developed by Bandai Namco Studios Inc., TEKKEN 8 is the critically acclaimed sequel bringing the legendary fighting game franchise to current platforms, harnessing Unreal® Engine 5 to bring new weight and atmosphere to the game’s battles, with every character remodelled in stunning detail and new dynamic and destructible environments. The Spring DLC update brings back the “Scarlet Lightning,” known for her breathtaking beauty and skills as a former assassin. In TEKKEN 8, Anna continues her journey seeking revenge against her sister Nina Williams. Fueled once again by this drive for vengeance, she turns to genius weapons developer Dr. Nakamura to craft a tool powerful enough to storm G Corp and take down Nina and any foes who stand in her way. The result: a compact, transformable weapon designed for maximum destruction—an explosive new ally Anna affectionately named “Lovely Tom.”
Anna Williams’ debut expands the game’s roster to 37 fighters. Learn about the legendary characters in TEKKEN 8, their histories, and their place in the TEKKEN™ saga on the official TEKKEN 8 roster breakdown.
