TEKKEN 8 REVEALS ALL-NEW CHARACTER REINA, COMPLETING THE LAUNCH ROSTER OF 32 FIGHTERS

Bandai Namco |

TEKKEN™ 8 has revealed the final character in the game’s launch roster with the announcement of Reina, an all-new character coming to the legendary fighting game franchise. Nicknamed the “Purple Lightning,” Reina is known for using her lightning quick moves to overwhelm her opponents. She is surrounded by mystery as the only known fact about her is that she is a student at the Mishima Polytechnical School. She also seems to have a very particular interest in fighting Jin.
