There are 17 confirmed characters so far for Tekken 8, including the recently announced return of Italian Claudio Serafino.

The supposed "world's strongest exorcist" within the lore of the Tekken universe first appeared in the previous instalment of the franchise in Tekken 7. On noticeable change for Claudio in the upcoming edition of the fighting game is the light arrow as part of his regular moveset.

 

Filipino fans, though are still waiting for any announcement regarding Pinay character Josie Rizal, who also debuted in Tekken 7. Fans are hoping that Josie's character will veer away from the "crybaby" trope should she be given the go signal to return.

Other confirmed characters in Tekken 8 are Asuka Kazama, Jin Kazama, Devil Jin, Jun Kazama, Bryan Fury, Hwoarang, Kazuya, King, Lars, Marshall Law, Leroy, Lili, Nina, Paul Phoenix, and Xiaoyu. Tekken 8 is set to release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
