The final character joining the Tekken 8 roster has been revealed. Prepare to meet an all-new character in Reina, who's also nicknamed as the "Purple Lightning." She's known for using lightning quick moves to overwhelm opponents. Her background is surrounded in mystery since the only thing know about her is that she's a student at the Mishima Polytechnical School. By the way, it seems that she also has a very particular interest in fighting Jin.
With the reveal of Reina, the 32-character roster that's available at launch is now complete. These include the fan-favorite fighters with Jun Kazama making a return as a playable character. Reina is one of the three new additions that include Azucena and Victor Chevalier.
Father vs Son

Jin is forced to face his fate as he is reunited with his long-lost mother. Now he's on a quest to stop his father Kazuya's reign of terror.
