Bandai Namco released a new Tekken 8 gameplay trailer for Leo Kliesen, a returning character from Tekken 7. Leo was initially introduced in Tekken 6 more than a decade ago.
Previously, Bandai Namco revealed that Reina would be the last character for Tekken 8’s launch roster, bringing the total of playable characters to 32. This new character is seemingly tied to the Mishima bloodline as one of Heihachi’s many estranged children. Alongside Reina, players have access to several returning characters such as Shaheen, Steve Fox, and Leo.
Leo Returns in Tekken 8
Born in Germany, Leo is skilled in the fighting art of Baji Quan. Leo returns to fight in The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 8 alongside several other returning characters. The latest gameplay trailer highlights Leo’s abilities in Tekken 8.
