Bandai Namco has unveiled a new trailer for Tekken 8 after the ending of the Tekken Grand Final at The Mixup 2023. This time the video is dedicated to Lili, well-known to all franchise lovers.

Katsuhira Harada shared on Twitter that Lily's new design was not the responsibility of his team but of artist Jasmin Darnell from New Zealand:

Tekken 8 is being developed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The team has kept the release date a secret, but the fighting game may go on sale as early as 2023. 

According to plans, Tekken 8 is now one of the publisher's most important games in development. The product is described as "to release in 2023 or later", which means it can be presented to the public in the fiscal year 2023, starting after March 31, 2023. Of course, this still leaves a chance for a release window in early 2024, as the fighting game is being developed on Unreal Engine 5 only for the latest generation of PlayStation and Xbox home consoles.
