Tekken 8 has experienced a significant leak recently, all but confirming the 32 characters that will be part of the final game.
The leak originated from a closed beta test of Tekken 8, during which some players datamined the game. An offscreen image was later discovered, appearing to showcase all the fighters that will be available at the game’s launch. With 32 fighters in total and a new announcement at Evo 2023, this leak has proven to be accurate.
Tekken 8 Launch Character Roster List (Leaked)
Here is the launch roster for Tekken 8, as revealed by the leaked image. Please note that this information could change, and since it’s not officially confirmed, it should be taken with a grain of salt:
- Raven
- Zafina
- Paul
- Azucena (Newcomer)
- Jin
- Jun
- Kazuya
- Victor (Newcomer)
- Law
- Claudio
- Leo
- Jack
- Bryan

Reina is rumored to be the secret daughter of Heihachi. Since Heihachi is no longer alive in the game’s story, she might serve as a replacement for her father. Victor is said to be a UN Agent who will utilize CQC moves. The other newcomer, Azucena, was recently revealed at Evo 2023.
This brings the total to 32 playable characters in Tekken 8. If you have any doubts about the authenticity of this list, an offscreen image appeared to showcase the new character render of Steve, and it matches this leaked image. Additionally, Raven and Azucena were also leaked in this image, and their official reveal aligns with the design seen here.
Tekken 8 is currently slated for launch in 2024, although Bandai Namco has not officially confirmed a release date for the game. It is expected to be available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series.
