Bandai Namco has revealed a trailer for Devil Jin, one of the many characters that will be available to play as in Tekken 8. The game will be available on all next-gen consoles tomorrow.
A free Tekken 8 demo is available now, allowing players to try out the game’s single-player modes before launch. Only a few weeks remain before the launch of Tekken 8, and Bandai Namco is releasing various trailers focusing on each character on the roster. The latest trailers have focused on characters that are returning from Tekken 7, such as Alisa, Dragunov, and Zafina, legacy characters like Lee Chaolan, and upcoming DLC characters like Eddy Gordo.
Tekken 8 Reveals Devil Jin, Two Days Before Game’s Launch
On the official Bandai Namco YouTube account, the company revealed a trailer for Devil Jin, one of Tekken 8‘s many characters. First introduced in Tekken 5, the Tekken 8 website describes the character as follows: Devil Jin is another form of Jin Kazama—one that has lost all reasoning due to the devil blood that controls his mind. With the way he glides through the air on jet-black wings, “devil” is the perfect word to describe his appearance and abilities that lie beyond human capabilities.
Check out the trailer for the character below:
