It’s been a while since we got our last gameplay reveal for Tekken 8, and now Bandai Namco has dropped a new look at returning character Lili; this time, she speaks French.
Check this out:
Un, deux, trois! Lili is looking for Salt in #TEKKEN8 ????
Lili De Rochefort was introduced in the Tekken franchise in 2006 with Tekken: Dark Resurrection. She’s a rich high school student, and her fighting style combines street fighting and gymnastics.
This is the first time we see that Lili has a pet cat named Salt, but I think there’s always been a rivalry between her and Asuka. Though both are high school age, one is a salt-of-the-earth Kazama, and Lili is a highly-groomed one percenter.
So far, Lili’s skillset looks to have all of the same flourishes she’s had in the past, but it’s possible there could be some new moves added here and there regarding her kit. The lore gave Lili a butler in the form of Sebastian, who also became a playable character in Tekken Tag. Still, he was essentially just Lili with a fancy old man skin because Sebastian had the same move set.
We should expect more reveals over the week with the Lili reveal, but we’ll just have to wait and see. Hopefully, we get a release date before the month ends.
Tekken 8 has no release date, but hopefully, it will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC sometime this year.
